    Lightbulb '79 Town Car parts

    My car was recently vandalized...I'm looking to buy a passenger side turn-signal lens and the chrome trim piece that holds it in place. I have Paypal. The junkyards here don't usually have classic Lincolns sitting around, so that's why I'm looking for help on GMN.

    Try Car-Part.com It is a nationwide listing of some of the wrecking yards that have parts for any car. Prices and location are listed . It has been helpful for me as there are few if any good wrecking yards here in Maine. I was lucky to find a NOS front bumper for my 83 GM shipped in for $95 ! Hope this helps you.

    What year towncars can this interchange with? I know of one pre box towncar. I'm not sure if it's a '79 or not.

    I just happened to pull one recently, I knew some one would need it... same car I got the wheels from.

    Its not in super shape, little cracks in the lense, some pitting in the chrome, and spot of the chrome has flaked off.

    How's $35 shipped to Canada sound? It cost me $15, and will take at least $10 to ship.

    The car is still there, if you need anything else (small)

    Baker's Auto in Connecticut specializes in old Lincoln parts. Also, Green Sales in Ohio has NOS Ford, Lincoln & Mercury parts.

    The lens from either side of a parts car will fit. If you find one that's worth removing, please grab it for me.
