mikeal1892 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Heres a good one for you. The funeral coach dealer was just into the funeral home and was tallling how Ford is doing way with Town Car and is coming out with something more sporty, and that Ford will be leveling the location where its currently built at. I find this all hard to believe but I dont know. I'm a whore for 1970's style things and well the Town Car still really is one of them, and that was well just a few years before I was in the world. However the dealer will only be carrying Cadillac products!!!!!! Thank-you Lord, Michael - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fred Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Good good the towncar is a ripoff of the Deville in the first place. De Ville means car of the village or car of the town Well DeVille means of the village I believe Towncar is a ripoff. Die towncar die.

Production of the Town Car will be moved to St. Thomas, Ontario where the Grand Marquis is built according to a coworker of mine who has contacts at Ford.

GreenMachine Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I don't see it happening. On another note, from that article: "The report comes as GM and Ford have been slashing their work forces and closing plants in efforts to reverse multibillion dollar losses. Their sales have been hurt by competition from more fuel-efficient models from Asian automakers." Most of those automakers simply have a better average MPG because the don't have a fulling of SUVs and V8's to bring the average down. Plenty of fuel efficiency in my opinion and since gas is dropping I don't see that as the issue, I see the issue as anytime GM makes a recall it delcared loudly but no one hears about the Toyota recalls except the owners, no hears about the engine sludging problem anymore, no hears how the unstobble tundra truly is almost unstobble and warps front brake rotors in some cases baly in 3000 miles. Enough of my rant that poped into my head. On the towncar I always like them, but liked Cadd'ys better, loved my dad's 89 Towncar, giant hood, all white, beautiful.

With festering boils and a lazy eye While I am not a Ford man because of how they execute their mechanicals, over the years I have ridden in many and I mean many Town Cars. I used to work for Bankers Trust in New York City and after 9 PM you could take car service home. 90% of the time it was a Town Car, the other 10% it was a Fleetwood. Honestly, the Town Car is a smoother riding car in my opinion.. I don't think it was a rip off I think the Town Car and Fleetwood were Lincoln's and GM's response to the Limo industry demand..

mikeal1892 Posted September 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Well, I was just wondering what you guys had heard about this. Seems theres alot of mixed signals. Michael- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenJ Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Aren't GM and FOMOCO involved in some sort of partnership in transmission development? I seem to recall reading something about that. I've owned a few Lincolns and liked each for various reasons, but the Cadillac is just a tad better in just about every respect. I've used car services on a few occasions and they were mostly Town Cars. A nice car if you must be in a back seat without a steering wheel etc. I only rode in the back of one Fleetwood and it compared favorably as far as rear passenger comfort was concerned. Regards, Warren There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
