Car IN NORTH AMERICAN LUXURY CARS LINCOLN STANDS ALONE 1986 SIGNATURE SERIES TOWN CAR $548 DOWN$548 MONTHLY* *48 MONTH LEASE-FRT., LIC., & TAXES EXTRA MFSR $32440 The 1986 Lincoln Town Car doesn't ask you to sacrifice any of the amenities you've corne to expect in a luxury automobile. Room, comfort, respon- siveness, prestige - Town Car still provides you with an abundance of them aIl. For 64 years, the Lin- coln name bas been synonymous with distinctive styling, smooth power, comfort, and above aIl, a smooth and gracious ride. Lincoln Town Car possesses a regal bearing and formal elegance that is its alone. Town Car's tasteful lines and its spaciousness make it a unique automobile. It's one of the few remaining traditionally sized six-passenger luxury sedans. The Signature Series, Town Car's dimensions are generously accom- modating. The car is more than 5.5 m (18 feet) long and 2 m (six- and-a-half feet) wide, providing it with ample shoulder, hip, head and leg roomn for up to six adults. Excluding station Lincoln Town Car is the roomiest passenger car in North America.,^ Town Car's front'and rear bunipers have been closely integrated into the overaîl body style and the traditional Lin- coln Grille has a bold vertical insert design. The fender extensions are gently rounded, while the optional carniage roof lends a graceful, finished look. Town Car's ride is smooth and comfor- table. Its body-on-frame construction and strategically placed, specially tuned body mounts create the traditional comfort and smoothness expected of Lincoln luxury sedans. Another luxury at- tnibute is the Town Car's responsive, 5.0- litre V-8 engine. For 1986, it is equîpped with a sequential multiport electronic fuel injection system. Yet the reason most often stated for pur- chasing a Lincoln Town Car is the aura of achievement and suc- cess it refleets upon its owners. Pumping Your Own Gas station has practically become a way of life, yet there are still people who drive extra miles in search of an attendant to fili their ghs tank. Filling your car with gasoline or diesel fuel is a simple process that anyone can manage. There are complete in- structions on each pump and, in most cases, the background to help customers new to the procedure. If you stili doubt your tank-filling abiliies, try a station which has both self-service and full- service islands. That way, if you run into a problem the dealer or one of his attendants can help. eýGe£&22Z
