Future retro Lincoln Town Car.

The last Lincoln Town Car built was a 2011 model. Or about 15 years ago. It seems the good old Town Car still has many friends. That big classic American luxury car seems to be pretty popular in the used car market. Especially since there is nothing like it available anymore. They are also considered some of the most reliable used cars you can buy.

The Town Car was everywhere for many years. By the end, it had become the default car to be driven in as a step up to regular cabs. Many limousine companies used the Lincoln Town Car as a base to build many stretched sedans. Now it seems this has all been replaced by huge GM SUVs like the Cadillac Escalade.

The big Lincoln sedan was produced from 1981 to 2011, through 3 generations. It represented an old-fashioned American idea of a luxury car and was never as modern or sophisticated as the foreign competition. But it was also much cheaper.

It seems there could still be a market for a new Town Car in our modern world. Maybe something looking a bit old-fashioned, like the illustration above. Something big, in charge, with plenty of chrome and a few retro design cues. With a new EV powertrain, maybe based on Ford’s all-new platform, it would easily be the most powerful and quietest Town Car ever. And probably much more comfortable than any of these huge body-on-frame trucks.

A new Town Car should still have that impressive, unapologetic big American sedan design. A retro-futuristic big sedan with all the convenience of modern tech.
