TOWN & COUNTRY

     The Chrysler Town & Country series has been around since the dawn of time. Actually the year was 1942 to be exact. The model name Town & Country stood for the type of car that was as good for a night out on the Town as it was for carrying the whole family or perhaps a large load of plywood out to your summer cottage in the Country. Although primarily built on station wagon bodies, there were a few model years here & there that Chrysler stuck that Oak or Ash veneer siding on to a coupe and/or convertible too! The usage of real wood paneling on the body sides & tailgate doors was phased out sometime during the 1960's replaced by faux wood vinyl appliques which often faded over time & looked like crap. 
     Here is a timeline of photos which sadly show over time just how bad Chrysler ruined what was once considered an elegant & refined automobile.
