Bumper Stickers Reading “At 17 MPG, This Hired Car Caused 9/11” Are Being Printed As We Speak

Mafia wannabes and paralegals breathe a sigh of relief. The Linclon Town Car will live on . . . for now, at least:

There has been speculation that the Michigan plant where the Town Car is built will be one of 14 North American factories Ford plans to close. But the automaker said production of the Town Car will continue in St. Thomas, Ontario — the same factory that builds Ford’s Crown Victoria police car.

“It is such good news,” said Stanley Smith, 73, of Manhattan’s upper East Side, whose 2003 Town Car has 55,000 miles on the odometer.

“I was shattered when I heard about the possibility of the car’s discontinuation,” he said.

“I would rather drive the Town Car with three wheels on it than switch to most other options,” said cabbie Mike Ali, 44, of Staten Island. “This car is a tool of the trade. I am glad to find out it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.”

Ford said the vehicle’s cult appeal was part of its decision to continue production.

“The Town Car has a definite following,” said spokeswoman Anne Marie Gattari. “We ultimately decided that it is a sustainable product, as long as we move it to a smaller plant.”
