this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is proud to offer this stunning and original
low mileage 1988 Lincoln Towncar Signature Series. This Lincoln is
in amazing original condition. The car looks beautiful, runs great,
and drives awesome. This Lincoln is a time capsule of how luxury
cars used to be the Signature Series offered up all the best
options available in 1988, some way ahead of their time. The car
has great lines and is totally solid. This is an excellent
opportunity to own an exceptional Towncar that is ready to be used
and enjoyed at an unbeatable value.
There is copy of the AutoCheck report on this car pictured below.
It is totally clean and shows no accident history and verifies the
low mileage.
We purchased this car from the original owner that bought it in
1988 and has owned it for 31 years. It is incredibly hard to find a
classic with this type of long ownership history. The previous
owner stated that the car has been stored indoors its entire life.
It has never been in any kind of accident, has never been painted,
and has been lovingly cared for all these years. According to the
previous owner the paint, interior, and vinyl top are all original.
The previous owner was an avid car collector and well known classic
truck collector and restorer. We actually purchased four cars from
him, an Eldorado convertible, a DeVille convertible, and a classic
Mercedes convertible, this Lincoln was his evening car for their
nights out on the town. Any car can be painted or restored, but
cars are only original once and originally cannot be reproduced.
The classic car market has been favoring originality over restored
examples in recent times.
This Towncar is finished in the beautiful, highly desirable, and
exceptionally rare color combination of Oxford White (9L) over
Burgundy Leather (QD) with a Burgundy half vinyl roof. This is the
factory original color scheme as verified by the codes on the trim
tag in the driver's door jam, which is pictured in this ad. The
very low original mileage is verified not only by the condition of
the car, but also the clear Ohio title, pictured in this ad, that
states the mileage as "Actual." Please peruse all of the photos,
video, and information in this ad to get a true sense of clean,
nice, and original this Towncar really is.
As a side note, this Lincoln is not a dealer auction vehicle. We
hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our classics come from
owners who expect their cars to go to someone that will give the
vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about this
Towncar, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Oxford White (9L) exterior is in excellent original condition.
As one can see in the photos, the paint has an excellent gloss,
deep shine, and smooth finish. All the doors open and shut nicely
and the car exhibits excellent body panel fit overall with
consistent gaps. The chrome and other bright work is in fantastic
condition with a brilliant finish and no major pitting. All the
chrome rocker trim is in great shape along with all the chrome
accents on this car. The original hubcaps are in great condition
with a nice finish. The whitewall tires have plenty of tread left.
The car it is totally solid underneath and it was always stored
indoors throughout its life. The classy looks of this Towncar gave
it great curb appeal in its era.
Interior
The plush Burgundy Leather (QD) interior of this Towncar is in
outstanding condition. The seats are in excellent shape with no
excessive wear, holes, or split seams. The seats are not worn in
the typical area where the driver gets in and out. Please note that
these appear to be the original seats and skins, not some cheap
aftermarket covers or replacements. The gauge faces are crisp and
clean and the lenses are clear. The chrome and bright work on the
inside of the car looks wonderful. The carpet is in also in great
condition with no rips or holes. The power antenna works and goes
up and down but the original radio does not fully function
properly. Most importantly the dash has never been cut or modified
or an aftermarket installation. The dash and console are in great
shape with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. All the door panels
are in excellent shape overall. This car has never been smoked in;
there are no burns marks and no aroma of cigarettes at all. This is
one of the best original interiors we have ever seen in person in a
classic Lincoln and is a true study of how these cars looked from
the factory.
Mechanical
This Lincoln Towncar is in excellent mechanical condition and it is
ready to be enjoyed. The 5.0L V-8 starts right away every time,
runs well, and idles smooth. The car is an exceptional driver that
feels great on the road and floats down the highway. In the video
below one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to
about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight,
and going through some curves. Please note that there are no
strange noises or vibrations and the car performs quite well
overall. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or
the other. The transmission shifts well throughout the power band.
There is no blue smoke when starting or driving the car. It runs
cool and does not overheat. Also, the engine compartment is clean,
detailed, and correct as one can see in the photos.
The horn works as do all the exterior lights, interior lights,
wipers, lighter, power sunroof, power windows, and even the trunk
light still works. All of the gauges work along with the power
seats. All of the many computer functions work as well. Not enough
can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car,
especially with the large sunroof open on a nice sunny day.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1988 Lincoln Towncar Signature Series is in amazing
original condition. This car is extra desirable with the
extraordinary original condition, great ownership history, low
mileage, and the stunning color combination. Originality is
extremely important in classic car pricing and as one can see this
car is very original and correct.
Other sellers are not taking the time to show the car is in such
great detail to give you all of the extensive information, trim
codes, comprehensive photos, and video showing the car driving and
all of the functions operating. This information is very valuable
and important for pricing.
Thank you for looking and please don't hesitate to call with any
questions.
