If I have one suggestion to make is that our tour for the rainbow mountain, the communication could have been better. Volume plunged to less than 64,000, and the make dropped to 11th, still trailing Cadillac (as it had since ’56). Keller (then preparing for retirement) weren’t selling, and before Exner could get out anything completely new, Chrysler Division’s yearly volume had dropped from 180,000 to barely 100,000. A Deluxe Imperial sedan with custom interior was added, but the big news was Chrysler’s first volume hardtop coupe. All were built in 1946, a good three years before General Motors began making sales hay with “hardtop convertibles.” The eight-cylinder T&C sedan was dropped after ’46 and just 100 copies. After ’50, T&C would apply only to station wagons. Hardtops, numbering just seven, were created by grafting an elongated coupe roof onto the T&C convertible. Muscle cars created their own culture. Styling and engineering improved rapidly, and the dowdy L-head cars of 1950 gave way to exciting high-performance machines by mid-decade. Highland Park’s early-’50s styling may have been bland, but its engineering was still anything but.
Unlike other travel mugs that have a sliding lid, which is prone to leaks, the Contigo lid has a push button that opens the vacuum seal when you’re ready to drink and closes again when you release the button.

Output fell to some 124,200 for model-year ’49, and Chrysler slipped back to 12th in the industry race. Chrysler planned a redesigned Silver Anniversary line for late ’48, but ran into delays. Chrysler had promised a full line of nonwagon T&Cs, including a two-door brougham sedan and even a true roadster and a hardtop coupe.
By 1959 it was an upper-medium line with 15 models spanning four series. A more significant change involved the Town & Country, which was no longer a wagon but a separate series of six- and eight-cylinder sedans and convertibles. Chrysler entered the ’50s as a lower-medium-price make with seven series and 24 models. In 1946-48 Derham offered a Crown Imperial town limousine, as well as numerous one-offs such as a dual-cowl Imperial phaeton and a New Yorker coupe that resembled a Lincoln Continental with a Chrysler front end. All prewar offerings returned save Crown Imperial sedans, and engines were slightly detuned. Chrysler itself built custom formal sedans, and A.J.

Compact in design, it folds effortlessly, perfect for fitting into your travel plans without occupying too much space. In addition to these options, two multi-trip plans cover trips of up to 70 days each for one year. The division built only 5292 cars that calendar year and close to 36,000 for the model year. Thus, existing models — save the ragtop T&C — were sold through March 1949 at unchanged prices, though none of these “first-series” ’49s were built in that calendar year. The T&C was no longer needed to glamorize an unglamorous group of cars as it had done in the early postwar period. Porsche Cars North America Media Central. These cars wore less fender brightwork but a new eggcrate grille — one of Detroit’s shiniest faces. Only detail alterations occurred for 1947: fender trim, wheels/hubcaps, colors, carburetion, instruments, plus low-pressure Goodyear “Super Cushion” tires. Variable rate. Prime rate (PR), which varies, plus an added percentage.
