Next Lincoln Town Car.

The Lincoln Town Car was built until 2011.

And somehow, it seems the last giant American luxury sedan still has many friends. That big classic American luxury chariot seems to be quite 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 from 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 Now it seems this has all been replaced by huge GM SUVs like the Cadillac Escalade.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. While, for a while, the Continental became a smaller FWD sedan.

It seems there could still be a market for a new Town Car sedan in the EV age. With a new EV powertrain, 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. It would also be quite a showcase for Ford’s all-new “low-cost” platform.

A new Town Car should still have that impressive, unapologetic big American sedan design. And yes, there should be chrome. And lots of it. A retro-futuristic big sedan design with all the convenience of modern tech. The illustration above shows what a new generation of the Town Car with a design obviously influenced by the generations from the 1980s and 1990s could look like. An angular, large luxury sedan. Something we don’t see often these days.

I say why not…
