Vehicle overview
Lincolns have always been big, comfortable cruisers designed to coddle drivers and passengers in silent, swift comfort. The 1999 Town Car continues this tradition with a powerful 4.6-liter V8 that makes 205 horsepower and 280 foot-pounds of torque. While not exactly a performance car, the Town Car will get you up to speed with little effort and even less drama.
Last year the Town Car was updated with new exterior styling, a new interior, traction control, and an improved rear suspension. Outside the car lost some height and length in an attempt to bring it into the 21st Century. Interior changes included better seats, a driver-oriented instrument panel and more efficient rear passenger ventilation ducts. This year, the rear seat fold-down armrest on Executive Series Town Cars will have standard cup-holders, the power seat controls have been moved from the side of the seat to the door panel, and all models will benefit from an improved JBL audio system.
There's also an optional two-tone exterior color scheme and new interior door trim available on all 1999 Town Cars.
The Town Car traditionally competed with the Cadillac Fleetwood, but since the Fleetwood, Buick Roadmaster and Chevy Impala were all canceled in 1996, the Town Car must carry on the big, American rear-drive flag alone. It will never be a car that grandchildren get excited about riding in and few members of the MTV generation are likely to buy one, at least not for another 40 years.
However, with more than 100,000 Town Cars sold per year, it appears that plenty of Americans still appreciate what this Lincoln has to offer. If you're in the market for a rear-wheel drive American luxury car, this is your only real choice.

I put a tremendous amount of mileage on
this vehicle and it has performed
beautifully - never had to open the
engine up - just normal replacement.
currently the odometer reads 330,984
miles. Believe it or not!
Good for the money

1999 Lincoln Town Car Signature 4dr Sedan
Smooth and quiet ride and the air
suspension was amazing.Soft & lofty in
the streets; firm and sporty on the
highway.I was driving over 100mph and
it did not feel like it.I own a 97
Deville concours now and I wish I had
kept the town car. The age old debate
of caddy vs. lincoln -I go with
lincoln, which explains their slightly
higher resale value. They put too much …
techno-wizzardry in the caddy without
enough road testing causing too many
expensive repairs. Lincoln is a more
reliable car which is why so many
transportation companies choose them.

1999 Lincoln Town Car Signature 4dr Sedan
The vehicle drives great, it's pick up and ability to handle the road is great! Maintenance to Lincoln Town Car is a major part of owning a luxury vehicle. The weather in New England can be absolutely brutal, not only to a vehicle, but to the roads also. These luxury vehicles aren't made for sleet and snow and especially pot holes. So one should remember to first be aware of what your … vehicle (Lincoln) will be contending with when it comes to bad New England weather. You must remember, this is a luxury vehicle, not a truck. If you abuse it, it will cost you. One other thing, don't buy a used Lincoln from up North, go down South, warm climate dictates an over all better treatment of the car.

1999 Lincoln Town Car Signature 4dr Sedan
Always liked the styling on the new generation (1998-2002)Lincoln Town Cars. Especially the harder to find Signature Touring Edition which has an increase in horsepower, dual exhausts, firmer suspension, chrome wheels, monochromatic exterior, etc. So when one came along for $4,000, I had to buy it. Gas prices are coming down a bit and they get respectable gas mileage for a large car. I … don't think this will be my last Town Car either!
