Lincoln Towncar LWB?

A group of us from work took a car service home from the airport. It was a late model Towncar with an "Executive" badge on the c-pillar. It wasn't a stretch limo in the prom sense. Looked just as I expect it came from the factory. It has serious rear legroom! More than a LWB W140. The ride, rear bench form and leather quality wouldn't pass muster in a Camry but it sure was big back there.

Do Towncars come in SWB and LWB or are they all like this?

Thanks,
Sixto

Just checked edmunds.com. The L version that adds 6" of wheelbase that all goes toward rear legroom.

You know, I've always been curious.

How did you choose the name Sixto?

Sixto is your real name? I've never met or heard of anyone named Sixto before.

Is it a name that your parents made up?

OT but....

Try going through life named Sholin. That's my real name (pronounced with a hard O and short i, rhymes with bowlin'). It's just 6 letters long, but geez, I can't tell you how butchered my name has been in the last 40 or so years...

Sholin
