1950 was the very last year for Chrysler's post war woodie line and is a one year only model as a hardtop for the Town and Country. Only 698 of these Town and Country Newport hardtops were built, after which the once favorite of movie stars and country club founders had become a thing of history. Special features of these cars include the very first car of the "Big Three" to be fitted with four wheel disc brakes which Chrysler had pioneered in 1949 and all steel body panel construction with hand formed ash wood trim that was applied. At $4,028 dollars when new, this was Chrysler's most expensive model outside of the large Crown Imperial sedans. Seldom seen and just wonderful all around, it is an iconic and tasteful woodie that is still in fashion today.
