The pre-War Chrysler Town and Country, produced in 1941 and 1942, was an expensive, deluxe vehicle that was built on the Windsor chassis and trimmed in leather and hand-finished to the highest standards. Many considered these limousines for the country and were often seen at carriage houses of grand estates. These models are also known as 'Barrelbacks', for their curved, cabinet-like rear decks.

This nine-passenger Town and Country model has jump seats, and was owned for over 50 years by Glenn Gould from Wells, Maine. It was kept at the Gould family's summer home in Vermont, and driven during their visits there. In 1972, the last year it was registered in Vermont, it was removed and sent to Wells, where it remained in the family's museum until recently.

The car has its original leather interior and original wood. There is no rot or rust to e found anywhere in the body which shows the level of care the car has received during its life.
