One of the longest-running nameplates in Chrysler’s history, the Town & Country was manufactured first as a station wagon beginning in 1940 and ending for three years in 1942 at the outset of World War II. After the end of World War II in 1945, the Town & Country returned in 4-door sedan and 2-door coupe and convertible forms with woody coachwork. In 1950, the Town & Country bowed as the last true wood-bodied production automobile, to be replaced with an all-new full-size steel-bodied station wagon powered by another Chrysler product making its debut, the FireDome hemispherical-head V-8 engine. A number of innovations are associated with this new model, including roll-down rear tailgate windows in 1951 and, in 1957, rear-facing third-row seating. In 1951, the Town & Country nameplate appeared on New Yorker, Saratoga and Windsor models. In 1952, the New Yorker was dropped, only to return in 1953 when the Saratoga series was terminated. In 1954, Chrysler once again offered a luxurious New Yorker version and the more affordable Windsor Deluxe, the latter powered by Chrysler’s workhorse 264 CI inline-6 flathead engine. Built on a 125.5-inch wheelbase, the Windsor Deluxe offered the same spacious passenger accommodations as the New Yorker and incorporated leather upholstery and Mahogany wood cargo decking. Only 650 of these well-appointed 6-passenger station wagons were built, making examples such as this Town & Country particularly attractive to collectors. Powered by the aforementioned 264 CI inline-6 mated to a Powerflite 2-speed automatic transmission, this rare Town & Country is nicely presented in white-over-maroon paint with a matching two-tone leather interior, ample decorative exterior chrome, Firestone wide whitewall tires and fog lights. Also fitted with an AM radio, deluxe heater, dash-mounted compass and fold-down rear seats, this is a great example of a Chrysler classic.
