    Alloy Wheels in Winter

    When I took my old Town Car metal winter rims and winter tires to put on the Conti I bought this fall, I was told that the old winter rims would not fit, and that the bolt pattern on the Continental takes only alloy rims. Normally I like to have a set of cheap rims with the winter tires, so the...

    Instantaneous Gas Mileage Display?

    Hi all, Back on the Conti "team" after a couple of years away. Best car I ever had was a 1995, but after it finally went, I tried a Town Car-nice but not a Continental. So yesterday I just bought a 2001 Conti, drove it home yesterday, and am getting all the paperwork done now. It looks to be...

    1998 TC Overheating

    A week ago, I had the 98 Town car coolant and rad system flushed. (Apparently the old old coolant was not winter-ready). Anyway had it done along with a tranny flush and oil change. Car ran so smooth, it was hard to tell it was running. Beauty. But a day or so later, driving in traffic the...

    Vintage Conti

    I was out shopping tonight and there was one of those antique car shows in the parking lot. A few nice ones, but one car in particular blew me away, and stole the show. Get this, a 1951 Lincoln Continental. Didn't have the camera, but it was a two-tone green (pale body, dark roof), cloth amber...

    1995 Continental Toronto area

    My trusty Continental needs a new home. It needs front suspension bags, and there is an ABS sensor code (passenger rear) that comes on. I figure probably $1200 to get it ready for the road again. Otherwise have taken real good care of the car-oil changes etc. - whatever it needed at the time...

    AC Different by Model?

    I have a situation - two Lincolns but the AC operates differently. My trusty (till recently) 95 Continental AC blows so cold that even on the hottest day, you need to turn it down. Literally like ice, and it comes on full blast maybe 20 seconds after starting up, and will actually sting your...

    Toronto Air Ride Experts

    Anyone have a good air ride or suspension guy who is familiar with Conti air ride in the Toronto area? My drivers front is leaking, and now I think the compressor is going or gone. It starts up sometimes and other times all you get is the warning light, and no pump noise. The car is a 95, and...

    Heated Seats Question

    Hi guys, My 95 Continental's heated seats haven't worked all year. In the fall I asked the dealer to check them out, but they suggested I dont waste my money since the problem was likely in the elements. I thought this strange since both were not working. Anyway this week an upholstery...

    Cut Losses or Keep it?

    I have a 95 Continental, about 145,000 miles. One of the best cars I have ever owned. But when I took it in recently for a brake problem, my mechanic (a real good one) said that the brake linings both sides need replacing, ditto the gas tank. Ugh. Ok, those repairs will be $800-$900. I am...

    New from Toronto

    Hey folks, Was lucky to come across this forum when surfing yesterday. I have a 95 Lincoln Continental 148,000 miles. Absolutely love this car. As one who frequently hits the highway for a weekend getaway, the ride is absolutely amazing. The car runs mostly problem-free now, however when I...
