What a great looking car. Seems outstanding condition.

Thanks, I'd say it's very well preserved for a 35 year old but not outstanding and I like it that way. I have had a couple of garage queens in my past that I never took out 'cause they might get scratched or even worse...get extra miles to the odo

Hi guys, just registered here and I thought I'd share my Town Car that I bought a few weeks ago from Sweden and imported it to Finland, since I have a question someone might be able to answer but first about the car.

It's '89 town car "gold edition" with 48k miles in the odo. It was imported to Sweden in 2018 from the US and that's about all I know about the history. The question I have is about the "gold edition". I haven't found any info of It from the internet so far. All the emblems are gold, It has a "gold edition" emblem in the trunk lid, no opera windows and a sunroof (not functioning though, atleast yet). So if you guys have any info of this particular edition, I would really appreciate it.

Why I bought It? Well, I have always liked these last proper (and by this I mean the boxy styled and designed with a ruler) American sedans made in the 80's. I had been looking for either one of these or a caprice for quite a while but not that seriously. Then I broke my leg on a snow mobile and suddenly had more time to browse for these over the internet and I came across with this and here we are. It was around 9k in usd and since Europe in general is not full of these I went ahead and bought It.

From everything I can find, there was no sanctioned "Gold Edition" for that generation, or any generation for that matter. Might just be some dealer added stuff from when it was sold new. I've seen dealers do their own "Special Edition" type of thing all the time. I could be wrong though.

Yup, that is logical. Since this is a '89 and a completely new body design coming out maybe a dealer that had this or these tried to boost the sales with "gold edition" to get them off the yard.

A lot of car dealers had a South West Edition back then.
Mostly pin striping and special tires.
Many be some trim.

That South West Edition could be seen on Lincolns and Cadillacs of the era. Not a factory deal.
