They say that a picture is worth a thousand works and I do have several nice photos of my 1948 Chrysler Town and
Country 4 door sedan. But I am also going to give you the thousand (or more) words, I hope you enjoy them!
HISTORY OF THE CAR OWNERS
This 1948 Chrysler Town and Country sedan was purchased new on June 15, 1948 by Henry W. Breyer, Jr. who was the
grandson of William A. Breyer, the man who founded the Breyer Ice Cream Company. Henry was then living on an 80
acre estate on Old York Road in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania (Cheltenham Township). His mansion, which was built by
his father, Henry W. Breyer, Sr., in 1915, is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Breyer Jr. used the
woodie sedan to transport his family, guests and company’s executives as well as serving to commute him to his
office and factory in Philadelphia. Judging by the condition of the original carpets, the rear floor and the
driver’s side front were quite worn but the passenger side front was still in good condition. That would
indicate that Breyer had a chauffeur to do the driving and that he and his guests would ride in the back seat. In
1956, Breyer sold his mansion and it eventually became the offices of Cheltenham Township. The Chrysler was put
into storage where it sat forgotten and unused for some 24 years. The last license plate on the car (and is still
on the car) was of a 1956 vintage and the PA inspection sticker was also of that year. One of the last oil changes
done was with Invader Motor Oil and the mileage at that time was 69,792. That oil change was done in
Plumsteadville, PA according to the sticker which is still on the door post. Since the current mileage of the car
is 74,400, the car has had less than 5,000 miles added since that oil change which was probably done in about 1955.
In July of 1980, the car was purchased by Donald E. Rook of Pleasant Valley, PA and was added to his collection of
over 100 cars, mainly Chryslers and Packards.

Honda poised for growth, Detroit to hold steady, Car Wars study says

Fri, Jun 5 2015

The automotive industry is expected to keep booming in the US over the next several years, but the train might start running out of steam in the long term, according to 2015's Car Wars report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy. The forecast focuses on changes between the 2016 and 2019 model years, and the latest trends appear similar in some cases to the past predictions. Sales are expected to keep growing and reach a peak of 20 million in 2018, according to the Detroit Free Press. The expansion is projected to come from a quick pace of vehicle launches, with an average of 48 introductions a year – 26 percent more than in 1996. Crossovers are expected to make up a third of these, maintaining their strong popularity. However, Murphy predicts a decline, as well. By 2025, total sales could fall to around 15 million units. As of May 2015, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for this year stands at 17.71 million. Like last year, Honda is predicted to be a big winner in the future thanks to products like the next-gen Civic. "Honda should be the biggest market share gainer," Murphy said when presenting the report, according to Free Press. Meanwhile, in a situation similar to Car Wars from 2012, a lack of many new vehicles is expected to cause a drop for Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan. Based on this forecast, Ford, General Motors, and FCA US will all generally maintain market share for the coming years. The report does make some future product predictions, though. The next Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra might come in 2019, which is earlier than expected. Also, Lincoln could get a Mustang-based coupe for 2017, a compact sedan for 2018 and an Explorer-based model in 2019, according to the Free Press.

2017 Chrysler Town & Country shows its 200-inspired face

Wed, Oct 21 2015

Chrysler's new Town & Country is expected to debut in the next several months, featuring a new plug-in hybrid powertrain on top of a new look. While we're still short on details about the new propulsion system, a new round of spy photos is giving us a great look at the T&C's modernized aesthetic. In short, think of a puffed up, ultra-versatile Chrysler 200, and you'll have an idea of what the new Town & Country will look like. Spied on what we're guessing is Fiat Chrysler's US headquarters – seeing body shells like this just hanging around the Auburn Hills, MI campus isn't strange, although this does seem like an especially haphazard case Â– the new van's look is far less upright than the current model. In general, this new vehicle should be sleeker and, dare we say, more compact than the current Town & Country. Alongside the all-wheel-drive plug-in model, our spies report the new T&C will be offered with a 3.2-liter V6, which we're betting was pilfered from the Cherokee, the only other FCA model to use the smaller version of the Pentastar. It's unclear if all-wheel drive will be featured on the ICE-only model. Beyond the class-exclusive PHEV powertrain, our spies report the new van will combat the Honda Odyssey's nifty, built-in vacuum cleaner with a unit of its own. Other innovations will include hands-free side doors Â– we're guessing these would be some version of the increasingly popular smart tailgates, which simply require a kick of the foot to open. Of course, we'll know all about the new Town & Country early next year, with its expected debut slated for the 2016 Detroit Auto Show.
