youngSTAP Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Does anybody have information, pictures, and or a brochure on the 2008 Lincoln Town Car? We are looking for one and don't know when it is going to be available. Thanks. Only thing I can tell you is that we start regular production of the TC in January. Typically with every new lauch it takes a couple of weeks to start shipping as they have to be aproved first. Check with your local dealer they should be able to provide you with more details.

96towncarcartier Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Production starts in January, yes. Town Cars will not be available at dealers, they are by Order only, from what I've been told. So if you want one, go order it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icechips Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Do they start the first week back or later in the month.. that would give the fellow a good base on when he'd get his TC.... even ordering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, not "order only"....Crown Victoria is flat out N/A for 2008 and T/C is "order only"....what gives?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveler Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 As the old Biblically-derived saying goes... "The handwriting is on the wall." It seems the Panther platform is heading for its finale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman100 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 As the old Biblically-derived saying goes... "The handwriting is on the wall." It seems the Panther platform is heading for its finale. I went up to the dealer today to pick up the default door pad code for my driver's door - I was in the service department - there was not a single Panther platform vehicle in for service at my Lincoln Mercury dealership. Yet another reason Ford is killing the platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIAMI-DADE Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) I went up to the dealer today to pick up the default door pad code for my driver's door - I was in the service department - there was not a single Panther platform vehicle in for service at my Lincoln Mercury dealership. Yet another reason Ford is killing the platform. I was getting my C.V. serviced a few weeks ago at Ford Linc Mercury in Pompano Beach Fla and they were loaded with Panthers. South Florida loves Panthers.My family alone has 4. Edited December 29, 2007 by MIAMI-DADE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stapelec Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) System fill for the Lincoln began Dec. 19, the offical launch is Jan. 2/08, the 08 1/2 CV and GM's began Dec 19 as well. As to whether or not the pathers will be cancelled, production as been extended to 2012 after that we don't know. But Ford CEO Canada has said they will be built as long as there's demand, what that mean's is anyone's guess. As far as ordering a Lincoln, you could probably order now.

Happy New Year stapelec Thank you sooooooooo much for the info.My family can sleep better at night knowing they will be around till at least 2012. My family was going into panic mode lately [for real] especially when our local Sheriff [broward Sheriff] starting mixing their fleet of Crown Vics with Crapslers and Miami-Dade mixing their Crown Vics with Wimpalas.

Happy New Year stapelec Translation, these cars will be around forever. So whats the deal on these "'08 1/2 CV and GMs"? Any obvious changes? I assume you've seen them if they started building them last Dec 19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in body, so I haven't seen a finished car yet, the only physical change in body, was a that a stud on the dash panel was relocated, for what reason I don't know.

Unless Ford has plans for Wixom that required Town Car production be moved out.....we hear elsewhere on this forum that work on Wixom continues.....for what reason? New Ranger? Verve? As yet unnamed panther replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even still...seems like a lot of work and wasted money for 4 extra years of production. Why not just keep it at Wixom for the 4 years?

I would assume that, since Ford knows more about the situation than you or I, it was more economical to do what they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Florida loves Panthers.My family alone has 4. I agree, there are tons of panthers of each type around here. Since you were there recently, is Pompano Ford now integrated/merged w/ Pompano Lincoln/Mercury, because I noticed the Pompano Ford building is closed and says they moved north a few blocks -- I assumed it meant they consolidated w/ the Lincoln/Mercury dealer.

Happy NEW Year everybody! I've noticed that as well, an increased number of Chrysler/Dodge/Chevy vehicles. I see several Charger and Impala squad cars (more Chargers in the Broward area, I believe the Impalas are more for the Miami-Dade area). I also know they are using Chrysler 300s as undercover units (also Five Hundreds), my neighbor drives an undercover 300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
