The town car is such a remarkable automobile. When I was a young boy a friend of my dad drove one over one Sunday afternoon to our house. I was enamored by that car even as a kid. He took us for a ride and we thought we were all the stuff. It was the closest thing that any of us ever came to a Limo at the time. He had the car for a number of years and he died there after of a heart attack. I never saw the car again. Years later I found out that his wife had sold the car to a local car dealer for next to nothing. I wished I had been of age to have bought the car. It was the most beautiful car I had ever seen then and still is in my memory today. If my memory is right the figure for the sale was $500. Which still was a decent amount of money for the time but no where near what it was worth, it was a perfect example . I even remember him telling us that it was the same type of car that a famous actress had Joan Crawford . I did not even know she was. This would have been around 1959 to 1960
