The Ford Motor Company recently took care of a critical Lincoln model – the Aviator mid-size three-row luxury SUV, which sports a more refined yet attractive design plus various tech-related improvements inside the cabin.
It's a great cruiser thanks to the 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 sitting under the hood, the same one used inside the equally refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer, but that doesn't mean people are entirely satisfied with it. For example, the big problem with the Corsair, Nautilus, Aviator, and Navigator is that all of them are crossovers and SUVs.
Although high riders currently overrun the automotive world, there are still people who care about traditional passenger cars and their place in an automaker's lineup. For example, last year, Toyota sold more vehicles in the United States than Ford because it doesn't neglect the sedan format like the Blue Oval company. So, sadly, there are no more four-door models anywhere in Ford and Lincoln's ranges. Not in the real world, at least.
Meanwhile, across the imaginative realm of digital car content creators, there are folks who simply don't want to admit that FoMoCo has moved past sedans and other passenger cars. Jim, the virtual artist better known as jlord8 on social media, who loves messing around with all things CGI from GM and Ford, is undoubtedly one of them. As such, don't be surprised that he calls everything into question.
More precisely, he's constantly wondering if Ford (or GM in other cases) brought back some of the most beloved passenger car nameplates. For example, his most recent popular design ideas revolve around bringing back the Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder, or the Ford Taurus SHO. No worries if you didn't catch these designs at the time; we have quickly bundled them in the accompanying gallery for our (guilty) viewing pleasure.
Now, though, he's also into reviving Lincoln stuff – and he quickly imagined a reborn Lincoln Town Car mixing the Zephyr styling with the classic limousine bones of the eternal Mercedes-Benz S-Class to recreate the atmosphere of American land yachts in a modern setting. The Town Car, deriving its name from a body style, was initially the flagship grade of the Lincoln Continental but then matured into its own model line of full-size luxury sedans produced between 1981 and 2011.
This potential fourth generation is merely wishful thinking, of course – Mercedes-Benz would never ally with Ford to give it the DNA of the S-Class for a Lincoln because it doesn't really need to, as its S-Class is still one of the few big sedans available in America and it sells very well if we are to judge by the fact that it's a big darling of the aftermarket world. However, that doesn't mean we can't dream about a return of the Town Car, right?
