The Chrysler Town & Country was manufactured from 1940-1942 and from 1945-1988  it was also sold as a sedan, coupé and convertible frtom 1947 until 1950 and from 1983 until 1986.  The Town and Country nameplate was off the market until the 1990 model year run when Chrysler re-introduced the Town & Country nameplate as a rebadged variant Chrysler  Town and Country minivan.

Chrysler's Town & Country wagon was distinguished by woodgrain paneling on the body sides and tailgate, a feature also associated with competitive wagons such as the AMC Ambassador, Buick Estate, Ford country Squire and others.

A simulated woodgrain appearance reappeared on other Chrysler products, such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Chrysler PT Cruiser.
