2002 Lincoln Town Car Signature Touring

Starting in 2002 the Signature Touring Sedan became a separate trim; before this model year one could upgrade his Town Car Signature by adding the Touring Sedan Package as an option. This grouping of a couple dozen upgraded and sports-tuned components plus a shorter axle ratio resulted in an output of 15 additional horses and a firmer suspension.

The Signature Touring Sedan's interior was gussied up with some genuine maple trim that the other trims (aside from the Premium Touring Sedan) were not privy to. It is somewhat surprising though that a sunroof was not available on this trim: wouldn't an extra dose of natural light or a view of the stars be a wonderful addition on a car intended for long tours?  

A CD player was an option, which seems strange just a few years later, since it's now standard fare on nearly every car out there. Although the optional front-seat heaters definitely fit into the comfort category, the other add-ons that were on the list were not very exciting: mud flaps, a full-sized spare, and daytime running lights.
