The nickname "land yacht" was assigned to the Lincoln Town Car in the eighties of the twentieth century. Despite the fact that at that time there was a massive introduction of new standards in the luxury segment from such world leaders as Mercedes and BMW, the model remained very popular and had a large number of fans. This can be explained by its spaciousness, comfort and relatively low prices.
The car has not lost its relevance today, as evidenced by the data from surveys of its owners, more than sixty percent of which do not intend to part with it. Moreover, about a quarter of the limousine market is now occupied by Lincoln cars. Vehicle rental companies also value them, because the car is cheap to maintain and roomy. Its only drawback is the low level of popularity among young people. In particular, the average age of model buyers is as much as 70 years.

Since the car has rear-wheel drive, engineers installed a system on it that is responsible for stabilizing the movement, which can be disabled (if desired). The power unit operates in conjunction with a 4-speed automatic, which can be called almost the best option for this kind of car. What else the model boasts is, of course, a suspension guaranteeing a comfortable ride and maneuverability. If the car is heavily loaded, the automatic air suspension will maintain the same level.
