1966 Chrysler Town and Country

I'd wait a mile, before buying it. Otherwise, a very desirable wagon

 

Just has to be a great trickery job on the speedo/trip odometer . For real now, what are the 5000 kazillion to one chances this would line up as pictured, in the driveway, the side of the road, etc, etc, etc

Stunning land yacht none the less, just wish there more pictures.

 

This car makes this other '73 Polara look wildly overpriced in comparison (which I think it is anyway). Which one would you rather drive?

The one with character, of course

 

I’d leave it to the devil worshippers

 

After viewing this wagon here, I went to my on-line brochure source to check out info on the '66 Town & Country. On this standard / optional equipment' page (T &C on the right half....), I spotted something that appears to be incorrect. Let's see if one of you sharpies can spot it.......

 

I hope, it's not the availability to get bucket seats and the 440 TNT Package. I would hope that the optional disc brakes would automatically get delivered with the TNT option

 

Nope. Not what I'm referring to......

 

All ORIGINAL , One thing wrong is electronic ignition. Common upgrade but not oem in 66.

 

The standard woodgrain-simulating exterior contact paper has been peeled off. Not that it would bother me

 

Don't want to keep this going longer.....
Look near the bottom of the 'What's Standard' list on the Town & Country.
Sixth item from the bottom says,
'Simulated wood-grain exterior trim'
- Thing is, the 'simulated wood-grain exterior trim' was not standard. It was not even optional!. My guess is Chrysler was thinking seriously about putting wood-grain on the '66 T &C, but cancelled the idea after the brochures went to press. Dodge started offering the wood-grain again in the '65 model year on the Custom 880 wagon (called the Monaco wagon in '66.....). In any event, it wasn't until the 1968 model year that the Town & Countrys got 'wood' again........

 

Maybe, it was just common sense, not to glue the contact paper onto every wagon and then charge customers for the defacement, starting in 1968

 

Interesting that the original buyer didn’t spring for A/C - even on a top-of-the -line wagon.
