Yes, after all these years, Ma finally has a Crown Vic of her very own. Her 1999 Lincoln Town Car finally looked so crappy and needed enough repairs that it was retired, miles unknown thanks to a replaced digital dash, but still under 100,000 miles.
MomVic is a 2011 LX in black with gray leather, about 85,000 miles. So far, she really likes it. It did sit for a while before being sold at auction, so there are a couple of things to look into, like one rear door power lock that doesn't seem to be working, and the CD player isn't working. Shame, because it is super-clean and nice.
Even though it was clean, it needed a good wax. I just wasn't up to doing it myself, not on a black car, so we had Arlington Auto Detailing handle the job. Everyone was impressed with the results!
And YES, I am jealous of the rims.............. I did the initial clean up of them myself, for old time's sake...
Alas, this IS Massachusetts, so from here on, it will be subject to snow & salt, pollen & bird mess, parking lots & jerk drivers. All reasons I myself could NEVER live with a black car! Vic 2.0's medium blue paint was hard enough to live with!
