The Lincoln Town Car is a full-size, luxury sedan sold by Ford's upscale Lincoln brand. The Town Car features a V8 engine, body on frame Design, rear wheel drive and large exterior and interior dimensions.
The Town Car remains one of the best selling American luxury cars in spite of declining sales. It is America's (and Canada as well) most used limousine and chauffeured car. This vehicle has been available featuring ballistic protection since 2003, adding nearly $100,000 to Town Car's base price.
In 2006, Ford considered ending production of Lincoln's largest model after the planned closing of the Wixom Assembly Plant in Wixom, Michigan in 2007. Ford ultimately decided to keep the model and move assembly to the St. Thomas Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada where the Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis, which also use the Ford Panther platform, are currently built. The Town Car's manufacture resumed at its new location in late 2007. The first Canadian-built Town Car rolled off the assembly line on January 10, 2008. Town Car is currently the largest Canadian-made car, measuring nearly 18 feet (5.49 m) in length for a standard Town Car and 181⁄2 ft (5.64 m) for an L Edition.
