I can't imagine anyone under the age of 80 actually buying a brand new Town Car from a dealer and paying close to $50K. There are so many other choices (even Lincoln's own MKS) in that price range.

It's amazing how much better the mid-$30K, RWD, 300 Limited and Genesis are versus the "old school" RWD TC.

I will say one thing for the TC, though: if you have to carry 6 passengers legally (maybe not the safest, since the front-middle has just a lap belt), it's the only game in town (well, it and the Grand Marquis and Crown Victoria).
