1948 Chrysler Town and Country Sedan Woodie
 
This rare woodie was originally purchased and owned by the Breyers Ice Cream Company in Pennsylvania and was used to transport the Breyer family and executives.  It was driven for 9 years and then put into storage where it was all but forgotten for 24 years.
 
In 1980 it was sold to an avid car collector, where it became part of an extensive Chrysler collection.  It was later moved to Mena, Arkansas as part of that growing collection.
 
In 2010 the Collection of over 100 cars was sold off ,and this Chrysler was included. It end up in northern California in a private collection
 
 Only 1,175 of the ’48 T&C Sedans were ever made and , very few are known to exist today.
 
The car has 72,000 original miles on it and is fully in the original configuration, including roof racks, white-wall tires, and spotlight.  It is also wearing what is left of the original Catalina Tan finish.  The body is made of white ash with mahogany veneer panels.  In 2011, the car underwent a complete mechanical rebuild, using all original parts and specs.  It has the original 6-cylinder flathead spitfire engine , which is fully rebuilt and balanced ;and fluid drive semi-automatic transmission, and runs and drives like it did when it was new.
This car can be driven anywhere without worry---it is an amazing find. As they say---only original once---408 892 5959

MotorWeek retro review revisits the Chrysler PT Cruiser

Mon, Jun 29 2015

I have a long history with the Chrysler PT Cruiser. My mom was working at Automobile magazine when it launched, and she brought home their long-term tester all the time. My buddy Adam's mom bought one in the early 2000s, and I drove it on many an occasion. When I left Winding Road in early 2010 and joined Autoblog, the car I got on Day 1 was... well, I think you can guess. I will never forget driving that 2010 PT Cruiser to a rest stop outside of Toledo, Ohio, to meet then editor-in-chief John Neff and buy his old camera. I will also never forget the look on Neff's face when he pulled into the parking lot in his 1991 Ford Taurus SHO, saw the PT, and started laughing. I have always hated this car. But when it launched around the turn of the millennium, it was a huge deal – not just for Chrysler, but for the industry. Retro styling was all the rage, and the PT had it in spades. On top of that, it was seriously functional – one of the first widely accepted tall hatchbacks in an era where Americans wanted sedans. MotorWeek has now dug up its original PT Cruiser review for its latest retro review offering. Watch the video above to see what the ever-charismatic John Davis and his crew thought of the PT way back when it was actually relevant.

Next Chrysler minivan to get optional AWD, nine-speed auto

Wed, 19 Feb 2014



"The minivan package has always been a sacred thing ... it's basically a life tool" - Ralph Gilles
The stalwart duo of Chrysler minivans will be reduced by half in the vehicle's next generation, with the Dodge Grand Caravan likely going away in favor of a new people-mover-type vehicle. And while the reworked Chrysler Town & Country shouldn't radically shake up the usual minivan formula, a new report from Automotive News suggests that some new technologies and thoughtful updates are in the cards for our Canadian-built van.
