'79 Ford LTD Town Car?!

Yes the Ford LTD Cordoba featuring a Bentley grille. lol. The one thing I noticed was the 4-Wheel disc brakes! Impressive, it took Ford U.S. until the 90's to do that on the Panthers.....

Lincoln Continentals had 4-wheel disc brakes in the 70's.

4-wheel disk brakes

4-wheel disk brakes back in 1979 -- seems pretty high-tech for back then. I don't think many '79 models in the U.S. had 4-wheel disk brakes, but I could be wrong.

Refer to my previous post:

They were also the first American car to have an anti-lock brake system, in ~1971.

And the the Lincoln Mark VII's were first were the first with 4 channel anti-lock brakes, as well as composite headlights.

I bought a 79LTD new. Lived in KC then. It was a great car. It had a 302 and C4 tranny. Ran really good, when the' Variable Venturi' carb was working. Ford had a good idea 'for the time', they just never could perfect it. I think the problem was that the diaphram in the venturi got too hot because the EGR valve sat right beside it. I finally put a Holley on it. Ran better but didn't get the good fuel mileage anymore.

My car definitely does not have 4 wheel disc brakes... Would be nice though. Drum brakes suck to work on.

My 76 Mark IV had 4 wheel discs. Granddaddy pimper.

Odd car, this one. Although I like the round chrome bezels around the headlights.
