The cushy Lincoln Town Car is everyone’s favorite car to be driven around in, especially if it’s the extended-length Signature L version, with a 124-inch wheelbase. It's actually not bad to drive, either. Next time you’re in one, feel secure in knowing that you’re in one of the safest cars at any price. And just because the Town Car looks somewhat caught in the past doesn’t mean that it’s missing all the modern safety features. Stability control isn’t on the list, but side airbags are standard, as are antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution.
