History
The original Town & Country debuted for 1941 as a wood-trimmed 'woodie' — notably the first station wagon with an all-steel roof — its distinctive white-ash-and-mahogany 'barrelback' body wrapped from firewall to bumper. Production was interrupted by World War II.
Postwar, the Town & Country briefly became a glamorous wood-trimmed convertible and sedan line, before the true woodies ended in 1950. The name then carried on as Chrysler's steel-bodied full-size station wagon.
The classic wagon ran (with interruptions) through 1988, latterly as a front-wheel-drive K-car-based wagon — after which the Town & Country name moved to the minivan for 1990.
