| The paint on this car is disappearing very rapidly. we owned 2 1990 town cars and had traded one over a year agao because the paint was starting to disappear. large blots of white are appearing all over the car. the cars were different colors and both did the same thing. only this one is really bad now. it looks polka dotted. since this happened to both cars of the same year i can't help but think this is a paint defect. so i would like to know if there is a recall for the paint or help available to have the car repainted. i can't believe that lincoln would want their vechiles to go down the road looking like it had been bombed by 5000 birds flying over. please let me know who i can contact to get some help. thank you. *ak | |||
