The thieves change into bikinis and drive the car off a pier into the water. The lady thieves get away by swimming to a party boat docked nearby as the Lincoln sinks.

I don't recall if I saw this first run, but I do remember watching this in reruns on TNT circa early 1990s, and the Lincoln that goes into the water is actually footage from "Hawaii Five-O" episode 6-14: /vehicle.php?id=1119878 I remember the same Lincoln being used in another episode from that season. It's owned by a hitman, and plays a key role in the plot. This episode must have been filmed before episode 14 of this season as it goes into the harbor and is blown apart. POOR LINCOLN!!!! I hope it had a good life!
