Walter P. Chrysler founded his car company on June 6, 1925, when the Maxwell Motor Company was reorganized into the Chrysler Corporation. Walter Chrysler had originally arrived at the Maxwell-Chalmers company in the early 1920s, having been hired to make over and fix the company's troubled operations (after having done a similar rescue at the Willys car company).
Chrysler Corporation then acquired Dodge, in 1928 and subsequently launched its Plymouth, a strong competitor in the low-price field, and the mid-market DeSoto. The Chrysler car was the top-of-the-line offering of the Chrysler Corp.
In 1941, Chrysler released the first Town & Country wood-bodied model, a station wagon with an unusual 'barrel-back' body design. This style continued for 1942 when WWII ended auto production for four model years. When Chrysler returned to building automobiles, there were two new Town & Country models that replaced the wagon - a convertible and a 4-door sedan. Both were very prestigious and highly coveted cars and they continued to be produced with a few changes into 1948. The final wood-bodied Town & Country, a 'Newport' 2-door hardtop, was offered in 1950.
This spectacular 1948 Chrysler Town & Country four-door is powered by an L-head 6-cylinder engine rated at 114 horsepower. It has a Fluid Drive semi-automatic transmission and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.
