      heh, np. This is what happens when you start to pick up too many trivial details about your car. I can identify most of the one-year specific styling cues on Towncars anymore, and they're all small details too. I got like this with VW Beetles at one point, but I've forgotten much of the really nitpick stuff now.

              cool, she's lookin good. I might be able to get you some center caps, if you just want to pay shipping. They have the lincoln emblem in the center.

                The car looks so much better now. Great work on restoring it. I wish junkyards around here were cheap, but they are almost as bad as dealerships with parts.

                  Thanks

                  Where is "here"? Lots of boneyards in this area (Philly area) so the prices are pretty decent. Good flow of cars too. Only bad thing, if you see something you want, you'd best get it right then because next week it might not be there. They crush cars constantly. Kinda sucks because they junk stuff thats still mostly intact with lots of good parts on them.

                    after seeing that pic with the dolly, i have to ask somethin i never was clear on, is it ok to tow a rear-wheel drive car like that?

                              We towed it in neutral. I drug my car 40 miles that way, the maroon car I think was close to 150. Honestly I don't know if it would tow better backwards or not. Less weight on the dolly, but not really sure if that would matter.

                                It puts a different type of wear on the gears. Kinda like a negative backlash
