Every time I see that car, I like it more, Hard to believe it’s 35 years old, still just as beautiful and useful/Functional as it was when it was new, perhaps I’m wrong, I doubt any car built today it will be around 35 years from now?
Great Video Mr Tony - We love the Detroit shirt. We also love your parents. They are very proud of you as when we met your dad at the Motor Muster he said you were smart and intelligent. We agree as we watch as how you seem to fix everything on these cars. It is great you take such good care of them with this fix and the automatic temperature control. Take good care and looking forward to the next video. Roseann & Dan
Lol. I have three of those shirts. I bought all of them at the museum store. I almost bought another one in June! 🤣 But one of them still has the sticker on it. Never been worn.
I know when my parents tell me something is broken, 9 times out of 10 when i try the same senerio - it works for me just fine 🤣🤣. So they might be NUTS in that regards. But i also work in Information Technology so that doesn't mesh real well with older people either. Lol. Great video Tony.
Hi again Tony, what a simpel job for a change i like it. I would like to have one of this for my BMW E39 from the year 2000, but I supos they did not have this on my model. And her in Sweden we hav a wether that is very warm to day so i will not go out in the sun right now.👍👍
Thanks for the diy video. Very helpful for future reference. Your the best! Looks like you might need big fat lemonade when you're done. Its hof here too.
@@tonyscarcare5657 I was probably too mesmerized by the new-to-me power windows, locks and cruise control to notice the button in the glove compartment. Compounding the problem was the fact my ownership was at least a decade too late to experience full service supermarkets where they would load your purchases into the car. 😁
Great video!!! I would really appreciate some guidance on installing center caps on my aluminum spoked wheels. When I got my 89 Lincoln, all of the center caps were in the trunk. I push it in, turn 1/4 turn and they are loose. What does the center bolt fasten to? Thanks Tony - I appreciate any help you could give.
Those 9F715's did get dirty easily cuz of the PCV oil residue. Id take the motor part of it off and put the body in the carb cleaner tank. Worked alright back in the day. Just don't put any sealing parts in the tank. 3.0 L Taurus of the day were really bad for gumming those up. Rolling idle that many unknowledgeable techs would throw EEC IV processors at it. Didn't help.
Tony, I have a base model 89 Towncar. Would it have the exact same wiring harness as the signature series? Or did they use a different? The reason I ask is because I wondered if I could buy the auto head light headlight switch and photocell and plug into the wiring harness in my car? I don’t care as much about the auto dim, but would love to have auto on head lights.

I agree, Dave. All of the computers will crash in the new vehicles.

Thanks, guys! I'm planning to be at The Old Car Festival.
Good video I always loved how Ford counter balanced the decklid to open fully when released. I love the soft close power pull down.
Thanks, man! Yeah, the deck lid flies open fast on these Town Cars. More so than any other cars I've had.
@@tonyscarcare5657 Tony I forgot to mention I have the same shirt from
The Dearborn plant!

Thanks for the reminder lesson on the trunk actuator Tony. Till next time…
You're welcome. Thank you, Michael!
Thanks Tony. Good to know the process. 👍
You're welcome. Thank you, Mark!
This just happened to my 89 town car! First the glove box then the key pad. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome. This is the first time I've ever seen one quit working.

🤣😂🤣😂 Yeah, I actually have witnessed this one not working. I don't think they'll have any more trouble out of it.
So informative. You’re so good at figuring these things out!
Thanks, Cindy!

Thank you! I am really surprised that your car doesn't have this option.

Thank you! Yeah, it's been terrible hot out here. It's even too hot to just sit on a mower.
Tony, I only had one car with a power trunk release (91 Grand Marquis) and most of the time I forgot it had that feature. 😉
🤣😂🤣😂 A lot of people never knew they had it. Just like the Ford tilt columns. Lol

Those were better days!
i love that trunk = how it closes - i remeber that from maybe a 94 towncar
Yep. They have been around a long time. I have a video on those, too. Here's one. 👇

my grandparents had a white on white 78 zephyr z7 - something about that white on white so pretty
At least your Dads not having you put fender skirts on that Lincoln. Hahaha
🤣😂🤣😂
Great video!!!

Thank you! I'll see if I can come up with a video for you.
they used a whiter than white leather dye in this era at Fordland. I like white dashboards and I don't know why.
Yep! I think it is called Oxford White/Currant Red, and the outside is Arctic White.

I've only had to clean this one twice in 176k miles. That's not bad. My 86 F150s have been way more often.

No, I'm sorry, none of the wires would be there on a base model.
Some wires are like if you don't have the passenger side power seat, it would be simple to add.
Very sad that it got into a huge crash
yeah
To find a new 89 town car call specialty motors on here they have a few
Thanks, but I follow him, and we will do without before we pay those prices.
