Do you think that the rear-end (taillights in particular) on the 1990-97 Lincoln Town Car looks alot like the 1991-96 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight?

1992 Town Car:

The 85-90 Ninety Eight was a classy looking car, they really uglied it up in '91.

Have you even driven a car with the 3800 V6? For a V6 they have plenty of kick, and they can likely do 0-60 just as quick as a Town Car with the 302.

Yes they look alike, but if you asked me which one I'd take I'd take the stinkin Lincoln anyday over the Olds 98 pictured, and I'm not a big Ford fan either.

Oh yeah....here's another one....the 1970 Monte Carlo's tail lamps versus a 1980 Caddy's.....who stole who's idea?

Oh so close.

1992 Town Cars came with a 4.6L v8. Another one of those who can't get over the 5.0L going by the wayside, I guess.

Thanks for coming.

Try that again and you test the ban button...



P.S. Automobiles have anywhere from 2 to 5 doors (more or less) and come equipped with an internal combustion engine. Who stole that idea?

My boss in college had a Ninety Eight. I got to drive it a few times. It was ok for an old grandpa car I thought.

1992 Town Car:




1993 Ninety-Eight:
The Ninety Eight cause they're smaller on the outside and they get much better gas mileage, I believe they get gas mileage in the upper twenties on the highway.
