Clint Brown restored a 1991 Lincoln Town Car from September 2011 to March 2012. He began by towing the car to his shop and getting it to start after discovering a hole in the gas tank. Over subsequent months, he replaced the gas tank, AC compressor, fan clutch, and did routine maintenance like oil changes. He finished the restoration by detailing the interior, repainting the wheels, and applying protectants to complete the project.
