Thanks guys. I looked for about 8 months before I found what I wanted...and found it..of all places...in the used car lot at my local Lincoln dealership! It's hard to find an all black one with a moonroof and less than 100,000 miles around here.

Ivory Pearlescent tri-coat paint (part of Cartier package).

http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/4476/tc22222er6.jpg
Some what custom front-end featuring custom grille hat, billet grille, and gold hood star.

http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/5896/ln9fd6.jpg
"OFR####" plate given by DMV at random. We can assume it stands for "OLD FART RIDE" ;)
Also notice gold Cartier badge, and "LINCOLN" script (sprayed gold) to complete factory gold package.

http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/8678/ln7nc4.jpg
The unmistakable Town Car "hump" sail panel.

http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/8537/ll5nd0.jpg
Almost appears as if the stainless rocker panel trim disappears after the rear door and reemerges as the exhaust pipe.

The chrome on that Cartier will blind oncoming cars. Very nice, where did you get the chrome door pillars.

I think it was about $45.

They have a 4pc which is just the pillars and a 6pc which includes the rear privacy glass divide as well.

What year is that?

it looks tight......

[Sean Mintz]

Interesting. I hadn't actually seen a bagged late model Town Car. Looks like you did a good job on it.

Sean

[mercman1951]

Not my style, but to each his own! Looks well done and well built. I love that color on Town Cars. Sharp car.

Today, there was one like mine (a '99) in THAT gorgeous burgundy wine color at the same dealership I bought mine from 4 months ago...I was tempted to go look at it...but I saw it didn't have a moonroof. That's a weed-out factor for me. LOL...

There was a deep, deep red (burgundy) color available on the very early 90's cars called 'Cabernet'...like the wine...I still think that is the sharpest color for these cars...and I see so few of them in that color driving around here. Maybe one left I see occasionally. Beautiful color.

[AZLincolnMercury]

Claudio

That there is a 98 (no door keypad)…..he has those mirror covers you were asking about.

He would be the guy to ask ;)

[nailfoot]

Nice red TC, 2low2rl. I too really like that color on our cars. I am not a big fan of lowriders, but your car's color combo works well.

[ClaudioA89]

I was hoping it was a 98 or 99..... so then, that means you can put some mirror covers after all....I'm gonna send him a PM......

HEY 2LOW2RL.......Where did you get the chrome Side-view mirror covers???

[w0by]

I'm getting all new carpeting installed in my Town Car by the Lincoln dealer either Mon or Tues whenever it comes in. I wrote Ford corporate and they agreed to do it for like $250.00 total.

[pepsi2185]

w0by where did you get that towncar?? They usually dont age that bad. My dark leather has a few small cracks in it but nothing annoying.


Does anyone else have dark interior????

Very nice! That’s rare to have a L especially a Cartier L for personal use. How many miles on that boat?

[pro-five-oh]

I revisited the Cartier L at a local dealer's used car lot a while back. Damn, that back seat is nice! Worth every penny over a "small" Town Car. :)

[cadman2286]

its got about 77k miles on it now. dad bought it new back in summer of 2000. its been in the family the whole time and yah some of the other family tries to make me drive them around but i tell them no!;)

Not bad, I wish it was one color though, i don't like that gradient. I like the reupholstered seats though.

[AZLincolnMercury]

Yep. I really like that dark cranberry color. Paint it all that color and put on stock 04 ultimate fluted wheels and it’s a winner in my book.
http://i1.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/9f/fd/9f08_1.JPG

[megaforcer]

That red color looks like a factory, I have seen a few town cars in that color. It looks like he just sprayed the front clip and had it blended in. Nice car, but it would look killer without that gradient.

[pro-five-oh]

I love the front color. Add some 17x10" anthracite Mustang Bullitt wheels, lower it, add a hood ornament and its done! :)

Thanks!! These are actually 13"s on this one. And the lights are both from european spec kit (headlights,tail lights,wiring harness,side marker lights and rear bumper reflectors).

Don't want to sound like the idiot here (btw nice wheels) :D why are your front tires angled like that? Hydraulics?

That HAS to be the coolest rim design I have ever seen.....gold centers, sparkles on the outside.......dude :bow: thats awesome :)

well I see 2 disadvantages of that I think.

2. doesnt the edge of the wheel wear out pretty quickly?

Fellow LayItlower.. Hey bro do you mind telling me where you got the european kit for the head light?

[04Ultimate]

'Just joined a few weeks ago after getting our 04 Ultimate. Absolutely love it! We're adding the "Towncar" splash guards and probably chrome/stainless rocker panels. If I can find something that works I'm thinking about Continental emblems on the B pillar posts. These pics are before I've Zainoed it (waiting for decent weather when I don't have to work).:)

[Rascal King]

Fellow LayItlower.. Hey bro do you mind telling me where you got the european kit for the head light?

I got them from a guy in Detroit, unfortunatly the two sets I bought were the last ones he had. And he bought them directly from ford in 02.

Finally took a picture of my 04 Ultimate, here are 2.

Had to resize them to upload, hope it works.

Rascal King,
How sweet it would look if you pulled the stripes down to the deck lids! I'm a little to old to really like the small wheels you younger guys like, but I can appreciate it when a plan comes together, with detail like the logo and the vanity plates, Nice Nice Nice!

Thanks for the reply to my HID question Edwin:). I will check with the dealer this week and see where I get on the build sheet. Sweet looking Ultimate! & Damn! You've got the light color dash! We have the darker dash & pad but I still love all the goodies like the nav. Keep her rollin:cool:

As a life long FORD driver, thought I'd send a pic of my first Ford purchased. A '57 Fairlane 500 two door sedan. Bought in '60 with 36,000 miles on it. Garaged kept. Definitely a car to date in. Hope you enjoy.:cool:

:bow:Beautious! I LOVE 57 Fords! 57 Chevys are sooo common...:rolleyes: Do you still have it? Sounds like you're a bit older than me but it took me a few years to "discover" Ford product quality. Had a butt ugly 64 Comet in 70 but it started my love affair. Went to a 72 Monterey to a 78 Grand Marquis & a 64 TBird. If I could ever have a "hot rod" again (had a 39 Ford Coupe once) I'd love to have a 57 Fairlane 2 dr., Candy Purple Grape and maybe a 4.6 out of a Mk VIII/Cobra just for the looks! Maybe some seats out of a Mark V or VI... I think we have been fortunate to have lived with these cars because I think the future may be "little & 'lectric" or something equally not fun. Too many cars around anyway...Thanks for sharing!:D

Me??? Well, I'm turning 70 in June. Still love my cars though. Just sold my '96 T/C to my son. He had been panting for it since I got in in '01. Hated to see that one drive off though. I had a '29 Model A tudor sedan when I got married, but had to let it go when we bought a new home. Was in the process of restoring it, but had no place to put it...(SIGH)!!! Drive a variety of Ford station wagons while raising 4 kids who were all in Scouts. Didn't get my first T/C until the last one graduated college. LOL

Great Thomas! I'll be 58 in a couple of weeks but still act like I'm 12 at times (like when I got this 04 Town car!). We have 2 Mercury Marquis, a 76 2 door and a 78 4 door which was my dad's last new car. The 2 door is definitely going (selling) & I'm really tempted to part with the 4 door because of the expense of finishing its rebuild (paint and a rebuilt 400) but it has huge sentimental value to us. We have 4 cars and room for 2 and I do love this Ultimate but....???? We LOVE station wagons too! 'Grew up in 'em! Check this one out (pics)! Boy if only Ford had had this idea...;)
