Wheelbase: 121.5" The end of World War II brought with it an unprecedented demand for new cars and as America’s automobile manufacturers struggled to meet this pent-up demand, omplete model changes were delayed by several years. Chrysler’s 1946-1947 Town and Country, owever, as one notable exception. Originally conceived in 1941 by Chrysler’s Dave Wallace, he Town & Country was only available in four-door “barrelback” form, ith a beautifully crafted wooden body. After the war, hrysler introduced new Convertible Coupe and four-door Sedan variants of the Town & Country, eplacing the previous station wagon. Spurred on by an enticing advertisement campaign and a two-page spread in the Saturday Evening Post, nxious public interest in the new Chryslers prevented the firm from making any clay models or prototypes. As a result, he car was reportedly constructed directly from design sketches to meet looming time constraints. As renowned author Donald J. Narus so aptly wrote in his work, hrysler’s Wonderful Woodie – The Town and Country, ldquo;The Sedan, hile it did not share the glamour of the convertible, as perfectly at home on any of the swank estates of Long Island.” Narus continued, ldquo;Where the convertible had pizzazz, he Sedan had elegance, marvelous blend of wood and steel.” Although the majority of Town & Country Sedans were built in 1946, ust 2,651 examples were produced for 1947.
