This Town & Country Newport features a 324/135hp Inline 8-cylinder engine with a fluid-drive transmission with synchromesh gears, independent coil-spring front suspension, solid axle rear suspension with hydraulic shocks and leaf springs, and 4-wheel hydraulic disc brakes. It has a 127.5" wheelbase and is a one-year-only design, this is one of 698 built. Semi-restored, it has 76,000 original miles, and is, except for a few quality refinishes, exactly the same car built by the factory in 1950. This fine example features original wood panels and original engine rebuilt . The paint shows very well, the interior is new, it drives smooth and the engine purrs like a kitten. The car remains in excellent condition. Made only in 1950.
This is not perfect, it does have a few issues. The radio does not work, the wipers are not installed, the dash lights don't work. It is not perfect, nor is it priced as perfect. I am told there may only be about 100 of these left. Here is an opportunity to own one.
