A model year removed from the extensive downsizing of its full-size
model range, the Lincoln division underwent a revision of its
nameplates. Following the discontinuation of the compact Versailles
sedan, Lincoln was left marketing six nearly identical vehicles
(Continental, Continental Town Car, and Mark VI, all offered both
as two-door and four-door sedans). For 1981, the Lincoln Town Car
was introduced, consolidating the Continental and Continental Town
Car into a single model line slotted below the Mark VI. Largely
similar to the 1980 Lincoln Continental, the Lincoln Town Car was
offered as a two-door and four-door sedan (the Town Coupe nameplate
was discontinued). Largely overshadowed by its Mark VI counterpart,
the Town Car two-door was discontinued for 1982. As the Mark VII
was introduced for 1984, Lincoln pared its full-size line down
solely to the Town Car four-door sedan. At the time of its launch,
the Town Car had been slated for replacement by front-wheel-drive
model lines (in anticipation of further volatility in fuel prices);
as fuel prices began to stabilize, demand initially rose for the
model line, leading Lincoln-Mercury to produce the Town Car through
the 1980s with few visible changes. Over 200,000 were sold for
1988, the highest ever for the model line. However, this increase
was mostly due to an extended 1988 Town Car model year which ran
from March 1987 to October 1988 instead of the usual 12 month
period. Conversely, the 1987 Town Car with its shortened model year
only had sales of just over 76,000. Although remaining Lincoln's
top-selling model, calendar-year sales declined each year for the
Town Car between 1986 and 1989. This decline was mostly blamed on
its aging design and the increased popularity of the Continental
which had been fully redesigned for 1988.
