I was really surprised to see just how bad Ford vehicles has become...I was a Ford Parts Clerk 1954 - 1958, these cars had a few bumps, but the ford service took care of them...I now have a 1994 Lincoln Town car...The car is twenty two years old, I have had it for seventeen years...I haven't spend enough money on it to put a good drop in the collection plate.other than normal wear items..However, my reason for having a Lincoln is It's Rear Wheel Drive. Has a full frame, for support..rides and handles like a dream...the 93-94-95- and 96 Lincoln town cars are the years to buy..I stay away from front wheel drive cars..Yes, they are cute, and give you hundred miles to gallon etc., but they usually cost you a hundred dollars every time you walk by them...especially the newer ones., fan belts for timing gears ! ! !. Plastic everywhere...automotive plastic is good for about ten years..hot sun takes care of that...then there's the Aluminum stuff...also, the theme is STAY AWAY FROM EUROPEAN CARS...
