Probably no other station wagon had a better marketing name than Town & Country. For they were equally at home doing chores for mom, around town by dropping off the kids for a little league game or doing some shopping, or taking dad and his buddies out for a weekend of fishing, camping, or just enjoying the outdoors. In the New Yorker line, these cars were not cheap, with a base price of $4,023, extras like radio, heater, and automatic transmission could take the final price tag over the $5,000 mark. This well appointed example, one of just 1,255 ever produced, is fitted with all of the above mentioned accessories, as well as very desirable power steering. Finished in the original colors of Everglades Green Metallic with a very attractive dark brown and tan leather interior trim, this station wagon is one of the few survivors from that limited run. Powered by the Hemi V8 and Power-Flite transmission, driving this beauty in 1954 must have been quite a thrill as it is today. With station wagons being one of the strongest segments in the collector-car world, this Town & Country is sure to be a head-turner wherever it goes.
