Does it over heat while at highway speeds? Or only while in slow traffic or at idle? If only the later check that radiator fan is operating properly.

I would check the fan clutch first. Also are all the shrouds in place around the radiator? And is radiator full of coolant?

No it's not that bad but if you not familiar with it or don't have proper tools or patience might be best to have a shop do it. With engine off grab your fan and give it a spin. It should only spin just a little maybe a third of a turn then stop. If it spins more than that it is bad and needs to be replace.

My 96 Town Car is doing the exact same thing. Did you get yours fixed?
