context_page_description: The Ford Panther platform is an automobile platform that was used by Ford Motor Company from the 1979 to 2012 model years. Following the downsizing of the General Motors B-bodies and C-bodies by two years, the Panther platform marked the end of production of sedans unencumbered by downsizing. Originally slated for discontinuation during the early 1980s, the Panther architecture was used for 33 model years, the longest-produced platform in North American automotive history.
  Developed as a successor to the 1969 Ford chassis, the rear-wheel drive Panther platform was used by the Ford and Lincoln-Mercury brands. While produced exclusively as four-door sedans from 1992 to 2012, prior to its first update, the chassis underpinned two-door sedans and five-door station wagons. Throughout its entire production life, all Panther-platform vehicles were equipped with a V8 engine; the Modular V8 engine was the first overhead-cam V8 engine used in an American vehicle.
context_section_description: The Presidential State Car built for President George H. W. Bush is based upon a 1989 Lincoln Town Car.
  In line with predecessors, the vehicle is equipped with armor plating, bulletproof glass, and undisclosed security modifications.
  To accommodate its higher weight, the vehicle was fitted with a 7.5L V8 (and E4OD transmission) from a F-250 ¾-ton pickup truck.
  The 1993 Aston Martin Lagonda Vignale concept car used a modified Lincoln Town Car chassis and 4.6L V8.
  Two license-built variants of the Lincoln Town Car were assembled by the Chinese automaker Hongqi.
  During the mid-1990s, the Hongqi CA 7465 was a stretch limousine derived from the 1990-1997 Town Car; the front fascia was styled in line to the 1970s CA770.  Approximately 100 were built.
  The 1998-2005 Hongqi CA7460(红旗CA7460) and Hongqi Qijian(红旗旗舰) (flagship) were luxury sedans produced primarily for government and military officials.  After initial assembly by Ford in the United States, the cars were shipped to China for final bodywork.
  In 2002, Mercury introduced a Mercury Marauder concept car, serving as a preview of the 2003 production vehicle.  While the production Marauder was a 4-door sedan, the concept car was a 2-door (topless) convertible.  Beginning life as a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria, the concept car was the first full-size convertible from Ford Motor Company since 1971.
