The last one to appear on my screen, above, is dated Jun 05. How can we get the later posts?
Now where did that XJ8 brochure go?
above is the history that finally brought car heaven, my 2000 Lincoln Town Car Cartier bought feb05 with 38000 miles driven to florida etc. now with 50000 miles and perfect in every way-rides like a dream good mileage my experience is that nothing compares-it was sure worth the wait!
Try this. Push the keypad so the interior lights come on.Time how long they stay on for. Then time them when they come on automatically. If they stay on for the same length of time, they keypad would be my guess.
Coming soon to a rear view mirror near you:
Chuck, you need to quit reading and get to the showroom!
I think its interesting that Chrysler, historically one of the FWD leaders, has now returned to RWD - I assume because that's where they think the buying public wants them to go ....... and Ford is going 180 degrees in the other direction.
Someone's opinion poll information is backwards.

A couple of months ago, someone posting on this board had a link to an auto magazine article about the TC going FWD in the 2008 model year. I read it in the Washington Post, too.
Reading is a good thing, indeed. The showroom visit would have just reminded you that there are American made RWD's out there. You probably just forgot. That's OK.
I'm not sure of that assumption - I think it's because Mercedes has no FWD platforms that I'm aware of, so they are bringing those platforms over to Chrysler, and they HAPPEN to be RWD. It coincides with the tides in this country, happily for them.
It sounds like you are looking for the kinds of discussions we have on our News & Views board. We're just talking about the Town Car here.
I need to ask you not to use rice-related vehicle terms. I know you meant no offense, but since they arose from an ethnic slur we don't use them here in our Forums. If you have any questions about this, feel free to email me.
Meanwhile, let's let this discussion get back to the Town Car. Again, welcome and enjoy our discussions!
And yet Ford is in some mad dash to replicate GM's 1990's near death march of an all V-6 FWD line up. Sad.
Would the following words have actually been printed on the sticker?
“460 CID 4-barrel carburetor"
Or would this be something someone could only determine by looking under the hood?
Thanks.
4 barrel Carburetor is the type of carb.
The window sticker woiuld say that but not in that format. The engine size and the carb would be listed separately, or it would say something like "460 CID V-8 engine with 4-barrel carburetor"
Anybody old enough to remember would be around 50 and therefore has already forgotton anyway, so the book could say anything reasonable and nobody would be the wiser.
(The real name is a 4 venturi carburetor, not 4 barrel)
Hey! You're getting personal here.....
I would say anyone on the Town Car forum should be offended, since we all probably qualify under this criteria!
I qualify. And you're right, I do feel a little offended, now that you mention it.
So there you go. Between the two of us we've managed to offend everybody.
We don't know anything about other cars, in your view, when looking to purchase a replacement for the 97 TC -- what is comparable to the way Lincolns were, when designed for retail customers? We like a luxury car, not small like the LS. Thanks! :confuse:
So there.
