UPDATE – This Lincoln was one of the first cars to be listed in our new Make An Offer system and we are excited to say that it sold right away for $7,500 and is now with its new owner! From the Seller (Keith) – Wanted to officially let you know the 1995 Lincoln Town Car is SOLD! and the transaction is complete. Thanks again for the great write-up! It really did my car justice!
It isn’t often that the opportunity arises to purchase a prestige classic that has only ever had two elderly owners, but such is the case with this 1995 Lincoln Town Car Signature. Its presentation is first-rate, while the original owner loaded it to the brim with desirable features. It has a genuine 64,300 miles showing on its odometer, and the overall condition would suit someone who seeks a luxurious motoring experience without paying the eye-watering cost for a car off the showroom floor. The Town Car is listed exclusively here at Barn Finds with an asking price of $7,995. If you are tempted to pursue this clean Lincoln, be sure to send your offer via the form below.
Lincoln introduced its Second Generation Town Car in 1990, with the new model remaining close to its predecessor’s dimensions but wrapped in a more aerodynamic exterior with distinctive Lincoln styling cues, like the grille and opera windows. A mid-life update occurred in 1995, and this car is from that year. It is hard to convey how beautifully it presents. Scrolling through the photo gallery below reveals a couple of tiny chips on the nose, but the remaining white paint gracing its exterior is spotless. The seller notes that CarFax reports that it was in a minor accident in 1997, but the panels are as straight as an arrow, and there don’t appear to be any signs of prior repairs or restoration. Rust is not a topic that could cause the new owner grief. The exterior is clean, and the underside shows only the occasional light dusting of surface corrosion. It is heavier on some drivetrain components, but there’s nothing to cause concern. The plastic is free from deterioration and UV damage, and the chrome and glass are flawless. This Lincoln rolls on its original alloy wheels, free from stains and curb strike damage.
This Lincoln weighs in at 4,056 lbs, but its drivetrain is up to the job of providing an effortless motoring experience. The 4.6-liter V8 sends 210hp and 270 ft/lbs of torque to the road via a four-speed automatic transmission. The power steering, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, and traction control maximize comfort and safety. This Lincoln isn’t a muscle car, but its excellent mid-range power and torque delivery makes overtaking at 70mph a breeze. Stop/start city traffic presents no challenges, and this survivor would make an effective and comfortable daily driver. It has a known ownership history and has clocked a mere 64,300 miles. The original owners drove it sparingly until they passed away. It was tied up in an estate for several years before coming into the care of its current owner. He worked through the process of ensuring it was mechanically sound by fitting new tires, changing the oil and filter, flushing and replacing the brake fluid, installing plugs, plug wires, a fuel filter, new lights for the headlamps, and other small items. He passed the car to his 97-year-old father, but he sadly passed away shortly afterward. The Town Car runs and drives beautifully, with no vices or issues. Potential buyers should consider it a turnkey proposition, potentially providing years of relaxed and comfortable classic motoring.
There is nothing like looking at the inside of a prestige classic to be confronted by the creases that are the hallmark of gracefully aging high-quality leather. That is what we find inside this Town Car, and the rich burgundy color merely highlights the luxurious impression. The outer edge of the driver’s seat exhibits some slight wear, but a leather specialist should have no trouble conditioning and staining it to regain its original appearance. A few controls have rub marks associated with normal use, but that is all that is worth mentioning. The rest of the interior presents as superbly as you would expect from any car that has been cherished and protected by its owners. The seller indicates the power driver’s mirror isn’t working, but a replacement is included and can be viewed in the gallery below. He rebuilt the window regulators using OEM components and detailed the interior, allowing it to present to a high standard. Safety and luxury items abound, with the new owner receiving dual airbags, power windows, power locks, a power driver’s seat, power mirrors, cruise control, a leather-wrapped tilt wheel, a rear defogger, a digital gauge cluster, a premium AM/FM radio/cassette player, acres of walnut trim, and an in-built cellphone that still works!
Domestic prestige manufacturers are following market trends, moving away from traditional sedans to embrace SUVs. That is fine for those who like SUVs, but many people don’t. It will fall to cars like this 1995 Lincoln Town Car Signature to carry the torch for a rapidly disappearing breed. This car does so with style and grace, and its known ownership history suggests it should offer a lucky person many years of reliable, enjoyable, and above all else, comfortable motoring pleasure. If you find that idea irresistible, this car is worth pursuing further.

Last of the luxury land yachts by Ford/Lincoln Mercury this 1995 lincoln. One was for sale for a couple months near me, it looked pretty prestine to, sold I was told for far less then this one listed. Cant say what the condition of the interior or drive train was probably not as road worthy as this one. At 64,000 miles this one listed isnt broke in good.
Between my parents and myself we’ve owned 7 Lincolns, both Town Cars, Continentals and Marks, we loved everyone of them. The first one was a great 1968 Continental we had another 68, one was dark green, with a black vinyl top over black leather interior the next was all black with black leather interior, both powered by the massive 462 cid with modified 4 barrel Holly carburetors. Mom had a. 76 Town Car 4 door sedan, it was huge, powered by the mighty 460. The a 1990 Town Car Signature Series. It was a smaller, powered by the 5.0 with fuel injection. I had a 90 Mark Vll, LSC, it also had the high performance injectioned 5.0, then there was a 92 Town Car Signature Series and a 94 Town Car, Executive Series. I had a 95 black with black leather Town Car Signature Series. That was my favorite of them all. It was loaded with every available option including a moon roof. I don’t think the 95 was ever given the credit it deserved The exterior had a few styling updates over the 90 design that really made the car look very regal. It was gorgeous! Most people had no idea how well equipped they were. It’s one of the few domestic cars that increased in value in just a couple years after its release. I loved all of them, all for different reasons. My biggest regret was not finding a way to keep all them them all.
Right on William. I love the Town Cars too. Favorite being the later L model, which added room to the backseats, ideal Airport 🛫 shuttles. Very well appointed, and beautiful riding automobiles.
Classic…. Example of buyer beware. This is just a used car. It’s nothing special. And it’s right at the mileage where you will be buying a money pit.
Anything more than 3 to 5 thousand is foolish.
I have to disagree John. These cars are favored by taxi drivers and livery services because they can rack up to 300,000 miles of dependable driving. The one thing I heard about these cars is that the airbag suspension can spring a leak, but they’re easily replaceable. I turned 70 this year and this car speaks to me. I’m almost tempted to sell my 1991 Mustang. I could probably get enough to pay three quarters of what he wants for the lincoln.
You are correct, the suspension is easily maintained. The only major issue the new owner will be facing is intake manifold replacement, they were plastic in 95. I own a 94 I got for free with only 58k on it. 13 years later I’m still driving it at 173k. Excellent fuel economy and I’ve driven it all over the country.
A 1995 Town Car does not have a whole lot of things to worry on that are different from any other nearly 30 year old car. I’ts a basic, low RPM, smooth running workhorse capable of many many miles. The number of these that have seen well past 300K miles with barely oil changes always astonishes me. Most engine/transmission/suspension/brake parts are very affordable.
The price being asked is quite reasonable – as you cannot paint and do the leather treatment for the car.It’s a nice solid car. Any vehicle 30+ years old (heck 10!) requires basic maintenance and repairs.
1996 was the first year of the plastic crossover (later updated with metal cross over) intake manifold.
The 1995 models still use the all aluminum intake manifold.
By saying that the cell phone still works, you must mean that it turns on. Analog service for cell phones ended in 2008, thanks to the iPhone.
Actually AT&T decommissioned the last analog cell tower in USA around Feb 2002. Had nothing to do with the Iphone which was still more than five years away. Rather it had to do with technological advances in cellphone technology. The new digital networks could support far more channels as well as network functionality not possible with the old analog network such as SMS messaging, apps running on these phones, better signal quality, internet, email and personal navigation. The newer phones also supported color displays, GUIs, and required less power to operate thanks to their far more compact sizes and less weight.
Feb. 18, 2008 was the official date that the FCC let American carriers decommission their legacy analog cellular networks.
it’s a 95 who cares!
Seems like a awesome deal! I’m going to bidon it.
Nice car sorry I missed the opportunity to snatch it up. Depending on the new caregivers plans for it this should hit the 200k + miles with the proper maintenance kept up
From a “car guy” who has owned many luxury yachts including a Caddy and specialty cars. Wife cherished a white Town Car from 1993 until 2007. Everything about the TC was done right. The navy blue leather was superb. 22-24 mpg at 70 mph. Sold at 90K. Buyers were lined up. Wife cried when sold. Still misses it. Enjoy!
