"I couldn’t roll the heavy suitcases with my weakened arms, so Nancy did the lugging. "Whaddya got in here?” she asked. “A piano?"
"No. Two boot sets. Two coats. Six cashmere sweaters."
So we were stylin’ in our chauffeured Black Town Car and cashmere when we pulled into hippy headquarters -- the Sebastopol town square."

I don't understand the last sentence. What does "stylin'"mean?
Does the sentence mean that we change clothes in the car and put on cashmere sweaters when we arrived at the square?

@Justin Xu,

By the way, is Black Town Car a brand?

@Justin Xu,

No to the Black Town Car. They probably meant to say " A black Town Car". Lincoln (a subsidiary of Ford Motors) produces a car called the Town Car. Black is not the only color and should not be capitalized.

Stylin' or styling pretty much means going about in style, or fancy dress. It used to be circus jargon, meaning a hand/arm gesture drawing attention to one's self. It would be difficult to describe.
