1949\u21921950 Chrysler Town & Country<\/h1>\n
\n

In Spring of 1949 Chrysler released the second series of their flagship Town & Country. The model was designed with less wood and a more flush mounting around the fenders. Unlike the first series, the mahogany veneer decal was not applied and allowed the body color to show.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ash frames were assembled by hand at Pekin Wood Products in Helena, Arkansas before being attached to the car. This process was part of the reason the car cost $3,970, some 20 percent more than the standard New Yorker Convertible.<\/p>\n

Town & Country was Chrysler’s premium car at the time and was built on the New Yorker chassis. It was sold both as a convertible and a sedan. A limited run of seven Coupes was also made by bolting a hardtop onto the convertible design.<\/p>\n

Safety was a major selling point for Chrysler who included a padded dash, Safety-Level Ride, Safety-Rim Wheels and Safe-Guard hydraulic brakes.<\/p>\n

Our feature ’49 Town and Country was sold by RM Auctions at their Sports & Classics of Monterey sale for $123,750 with an estimate of $100,000-$120,000 USD.<\/p>\n
