About the 2010 Lincoln Town Car
3rd generation (1998-2011), late-cycle model and second-to-last model year.
Lincoln positions the Town Car as a traditional full-size luxury sedan built around smooth highway comfort, easy entry, simple controls, and generous passenger room. The model’s main draw is not sporty handling or newer technology; it is the familiar American luxury-sedan formula of a soft ride, roomy cabin, large trunk, rear-wheel drive, and a flexible-fuel V8. For used-car shoppers, it stands out as a classic comfort-first sedan with limo-like space in Signature L form.
The 2010 Town Car remains a comfort-focused luxury sedan with a soft ride, six-passenger seating, and a very large trunk. Signature Limited is the standard-length version, with heated leather seating, rear parking sensors, and a power-operated trunk lid. Signature L has a 6-inch-longer wheelbase, extra rear legroom, heated rear seats, and rear audio and climate controls for a more chauffeur-style cabin.
