Assembled in Detroit, Michigan and sold new to Mr Jorge Bartholin Cuevas in New York, this spectacular Town & Country Woodie Convertible has the 5. 3-litre (323. 5ci) V8 engine. Mr Cuevas took the car to his residence in Biarritz, and in 1952 sold it to a Parisian who owned a second home in that city where it served to transport the family and guests to the beach in the summer.
In 1972 the Chrysler was bought by the passionate Brussels-based car enthusiast Mr Patrick Van der Stricht, founding member of the Historical Vehicle Club Belgium, who had found the car in Aix-en-Provence, France. The T&C has been in the same family's possession until now. In 1991 the car was exhibited at the exposition L'Automobile dans la Bande Dessinée in Paris and it has also served as 'movie car' in "Arrêt d'urgence", a movie by Denys Granier-Deferre with Marie Trintignant (daughter of famous actor Jean-Louis Trintignant) that was recorded in France in 1994. It was also presented at Autoworld during the 'American Dream Car' exhibition.
