Suspension Parts For Current Lincoln Town Car.
Lincoln ’s largest rear-drive luxury car carries on for another model year, with the only changes for 2007 being three new exterior colors (Dark Blue Pearl Clearcoat Metallic and Satellilte Silver) and newly standard power-adjustable pedals, a programmable keyless entry pad on the driver’s door and dual-zone automatic climate control. As previously, the ‘07 Town Car air suspension is available in Signature, Signature Limited and the long-wheelbase Executive L and Signature L trim levels. The Town Car’s main appeal is its super-soft ride, sedate handling and spacious and comfortable interior with sofa-like seating for six adults. Its standard 4.6-liter, V-8 engine generates 239 horsepower and is coupled to a four-speed-automatic transmission. Four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes, 17-inch wheels, front side airbags and traction control are standard, along with a wealth of comfort and convenience features. Options include 18-inch wheels, a power moonroof, high-intensity-discharge headlamps, a CD changer and a navigation system that incorporates a THX-certified audio array and satellite radio compatibility.
Equipped with wide front and rear bench seats, the current Lincoln Town Car is one of the few six-passenger cars around. Both standard- and long-wheelbase models are offered, each powered by a V8 engine. The Town Car suspension is offered in two trim levels. The Signature serves as the base model, while the Signature Limited adds some minor extras such as an upgraded sound system, power-operated trunk and a memory system linking the seats, pedals and mirrors to preset preferences.
The long-wheelbase Town Car Signature L is about as close to a limousine as a sedan can get. Six inches longer than the other styles, the Signature L features a much roomier, heated rear bench seat with separate audio and climate controls. With so much weight to pull around, the Lincoln Town Car’s rear air suspension, 4.6-liter V8 engine is incapable of providing quick acceleration in spite of its 239 horsepower and 287 pound-feet of torque. Not helping matters is a four-speed automatic that lacks the choice of gear ratios and fuel-economy benefits of the five- and six-speed automatics found on competitive sedans. In editorial reviews, we appreciated this generation’s stronger frame, sharpened steering and upgraded brakes. This model also earned favorable commentary for its abundant storage areas, magic-carpet ride quality, interior spaciousness and ability to swallow four sets of golf clubs in the huge trunk. Negative comments focused on the weak motor, soft handling and old-school interior and exterior design.
