This 49K Mile 1990 Lincoln Town Car on the Panther Platform was a Car Ford Never Intended to Build

If things had gone the way the top brass at Ford was planning, this 2nd generation Town Car never would have existed. The Panther Platform was intended as a stop gap measure to pave the way for smaller, front-wheel-drive cars like the ones that got Cadillac in so much trouble in the mid-1980s. Instead, Town Cars enjoyed a 30+ year production run, becoming the longest running platform in Ford history, and created billions in revenue for the company.

The FN36 body, or 2nd generation Town Car, has a special place in my heart. Fresh out of college and making a living on eBay, I purchased a 100K mile Cartier edition 1990 model and promptly fell in love with it. The rich interior, the regal good looks, and the pampered ride - it was like riding a cloud. It would forever make me a fan of the panthers, and the Town Cars in general.

This 1990 is a beautifully preserved example, and ordered with the most desirable features - Signature package, dual exhaust (good for 10 extra HP), full leather seats, dual-side airbags, and more. It's as lovely to drive as it is to look at.
