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 like it!

1999 Lincoln Town Car Cartier 4dr Sedan
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 Executive 4dr Sedan
I have owned this 1999 Town Car Since June 1999 and only repair and replacement has been a blower fan, fuel pump, break pads,and rotors. Regular maintainance has been carefully performed. The passenger comfort is beyond outstanding. Since last update needed to replace fuel pump.
Since last update replace spark plugs and manifold gaskets and driver side power window motor.
Still is a … mighty comfortable riding automobile.

1999 Lincoln Town Car Signature Touring
rob,10/14/2008
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!

Should I lease or buy a 1999 Lincoln Town Car?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
