"1988 Lincoln Town Car Hess & Eisenhardt Limousine
Hess & Eisenhardt produced Sayers & Scovill coaches from 1942 through 1974 when Cincinnati millionaire, and Reds co owner, George Strike purchased it. Hess & Eisenhardt was split into three and sold in 1982. The one remaining firm still bearing the Hess & Eisenhardt name went out of business in the early 1990's. In 1956, the company built three Lincoln Mark II convertibles with only two still known to exist. Thx Coachbuilt.com�
For consignment, a 1988 Lincoln Town Car Hess & Eisenhardt limousine with a title verified 43,639 actual miles. If you've got kids going to the prom or a large family to transport, here's something that will get a bit more attention than your average SUV or minivan with three rows!�
Exterior
As Hess & Eisenhardt did cars for politicians and dignitaries, it's no surprise this one is done up in solid black paint. This long car has three doors of varying sizes with the middle being the widest and topped with the large windows. From front and behind, it's standard Town Car with a stately Rolls Royce style grille, lots of right angles, and an attractive light bar and stainless trim connecting the corner tail lights. The football field sized black vinyl top is in very good condition with some slight bubbling at the base in back. Wire wheel covers adorn 15-inch wheels with 235/75R15 tires. Imperfections include numerous spot blemishes on horizontal surfaces akin to tree sap stains, some bubbling and peeling at the corner and edge of a door and notable rust at the bottom rear of the driver's quarter panel.�
Interior
Blue velour, blue vinyl, and simulated woodgrain decorate the doors, and most of the six door panels are in great shape. The driver's shows a repair with blue tape on the armrest and another is missing the lid to the ashtray. Plush blue velour buckets occupy the front and provide the chauffeur with a wide and comfortable seat, along with armrests. The second row mirrors the materials in bench form and is also in nice shape with tons of leg room before the vented half partition, sorry, not glass or privacy partition here. Rear passengers have the standard round edged bench and also gobs of legroom and all three rows contend with the driveshaft hump that travels the length of the car. Back to standard Lincoln on the dash, stately, square, and replete with faux woodgrain around boxed gauges all in fine shape. The only diversion from stock is the added fan switches for the rear occupants just below the AM/FM/Cassette radio. Plush blue carpet shows a touch of age but the soft and expansive blue headliner is in great shape. The trunk is large and finished in gray cloth panels.�
Drivetrain
A clean 5.0 liter V8 lives under the hood sporting the common intake plenum of the era. It's fuel injected and rated at 150 horsepower, mated to a Ford AOD 4-speed automatic transmission which sends power way back to the Ford 8.8"" rear with 3.55 gears and TracLoc. Power brakes are employed here with discs in front and drums in back and our consignor states that the brakes, calipers, lines, wheel cylinders, and master cylinder have all been replaced.�
Undercarriage
Driver quality underneath with lots of surface rust and some grease deposits. The dual exhaust, which our consignor says should be replaced, flows through stock style mufflers before exiting under the car behind the rear bumper. Suspension includes coil springs up front and a 4 link with coil springs in back.��
Drive-Ability
""Home, James!"" You can't enter a limousine without saying that, it's a rule. However, we are James today, and doing the driving and the trusty 5.0 liter runs smooth and uses its 150 horsepower to pull this long car with surprising ease. The car tracks straight and turns like a bus, but that's no surprise! We note the left rear window is not working, but all other functions in this stretch operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.�
If you have carpool duties, how cool would this be? Uber driver, a five star rating every time! Overland conversion, why not!� Run the Cannonball, what a dream! However you use it, vintage limos like this rarely come up for sale and this one is in very nice condition. Blue velour may be a thing of the past, but who doesn't remember it with great fondness? Here's your opportunity to have acres of it on four luxurious wheels!�
