Wtf is this all about?

The DeVille nameplate is still in use today, but the Coupe DeVille ceased production in 1993. With that demise, the Sedan prefix also ceased in 1996. DeVille was derived from the French phrase meaning " of the city or town " and to further translate, Coupe DeVille means " Town Car ".

who had the title "town car" first

It was Cadillac, the name existed in the 50s while Lincoln came up with the name as a package on the Continentals in the mid 70s. Lincoln called it the Town Car & Town Coupe' package until it was made into an actual model in the early 80s, but the Town Coupe' was shortly discontinued and the Town Car model still exists to this day.
