Need an "affordable" family car - recommendations?

By a used CrownVic. Lots of metal around them and I get 24-26 on the highway and about 17-18 around town. My brother has a newer Grand Marquis with better highway gears and always gets better than 26 on the highway and we don't drive 55.
But I'm really trying to get my Dad's 2003 Town Car oh baby....it's one sweeet ride. It just sits in a Garage in MO.
Yep I buy Ford. By butt would pucker in a toyoto...plus they are an ugly blob.

Oh by the way your Dodge truck looks great, it would be hard to get rid of it for 4-5k.
