town cars

Chauffeured black vehicles

A town car is a large, luxury sedan typically used for chauffeured transportation—the kind that picks you up at airports or ferries executives to meetings.

The term originally designated a specific body style with an open driver's compartment, but now refers broadly to any upscale vehicle for hire: We booked a town car to the wedding.

Lincoln's Town Car model dominated this market for decades.
