Used For Sale at Auction: 1998 Lincoln Town Car for sale in Brandon, MS

The description originated from the horse-drawn carriage that featured an open chauffeur's compartment with a fixed roof for the passengers.1 #fn1 During that era, the fixed rear roof horse-drawn carriage became a limousine and the term "de Ville" in French meant "for town (use)".2 #fn2 Later, the "sedan de Ville" was used as a model name by Cadillac, the primary rival to the Lincoln Continental from the 1950s to the 1990s. In 1922, Edsel Ford purchased a custom-built Lincoln L-Series town car as a personal vehicle for his father, Henry Ford.
