Chrysler corporation didn’t have a station wagon until 1941, later than nearly all other factories that produced wagons. The first Chrysler station wagon was a vehicle that was something between a sedan and a wagon with a wooden body, sloping steel roof, and dutch-door tailgate. This incorporation of style was named Town & Country and stayed in this form of 1942 and didn’t return in the line after World War 2. In 1949, Chrysler went back to the station wagon field and this time with a conventional constructed wood –slathering model of the low line Royal series.
The 850 models of the nine-passenger vehicles were built although this didn’t stop the division. In 1950, he came up with two options of the Royal Wagons, a wood-trimmed design, and a cheap all-steel design. The sales of the two were 599 units for the wooden and 100 units for the all-steel and an additional advancement was made in the wagon, a rear window that emerged from the tailgate instead of it propping up as a separate part.
Chrysler decided to remain in the station wagon business expanding the wagon offerings into Windsor’s, Saratoga, and New Yorker lines without any wood used. By 1953, Town & country were offered in two forms; a Six-cylinder Windsor or a V-8 New Yorker. It had a 125.5-inch wheelbase and six seats, though one was a removable children’s seat. It had a cargo floor of 75 inches long and 47 inches wide with the second-row seats folded. The Windsor Town & Country cost $3259 and accounted for 1242 sales although 1399 buyers opted to add $639 to get the New Yorker Wagon due to its sensational 331 cid head FirePower V-8 producing 180 bhp
