Give ^burself A Lifetime Achievement Award.

The Lincoln Tow n Car is such an appropriate reward

for your lifetime of accomplishment, you might even

consider an acceptance speech. The Town Car certainly

gives you plenty to talk about, beginning with the

traditional spaciousness of its interior. You could go

on about Lincoln’s commitment to safety technology

that includes standard ABS brakes and dual air bags'

And you’ll never run out of compliments for its prolif­

eration of elegant appointments. Finally, you might

praise the powerful V-8 engine, and the smoothness of

that legendary quiet ride. And every Lincoln is backed

by the Lincoln Commitment, a comprehensive owner­

ship benefits program that includes 24-hour Roadside

Service Assistance.

So deliver that acceptance speech if you like. And

please...try to keep it under three minutes.

For further information about the Lincoln Town Car,

please call 1 800 446-8888.
