I thought a Town Car was a peculiar choice for replacing a t-bird. LOL. Didn't want to say anything though. Sure don't want to hijack or divert Harry's post, but check this beauty out, Mark:

Rich, thats the ticket, beautiful car,not to big, not to small. I think when I'm ready I'll go for a Florida car, no road salt!
Here I wanted to see pics of a '52-'55 Lincoln and it's a late model
Anyone that wants another of those like in the pics, let me know. My sister has a South Carolina salt/rust free one owner one for sale.
Does your state require an AARP card to register one of these :003:
An AARP card for a Mark viii? In '93 when they first came out, Ford took one off the assembly line, removed the governor and the rear brakes, and replaced the 140mph rated tires with a set made for Corvettes. Otherwise totally stock. Clocked it at 187 mph in the 5 mile run at Bonneville. Not too shabby for a production old fart's car. I realize 5 miles is a long run, but still a far cry from our daddy's Buicks.
My uncle had one, I was visiting him up near Green Bay, we went to lunch with me driving, he says step on it, so I floored it and in no time flat we were doing 100. I actually got an arp card in the mail today :grim:
Are you crazy going 100mph with an aluminum drive shaft !
Zap- :unitedstates:
Aluminum drive shafts are the bee's knees! They run so much smoother than steel, and I have beat on one as much as one could on the street(1.65 60') and a few blast up to 155. Never had an issue.
