Leif in Calif Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I don't know about $140K but I think the Chrysler Town and Country carries the highest premium of any car for what is in modern parlance a 'body kit". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Nice looking, but that is a very high ask. What else could you buy for 140K? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearheadengineer Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I like these. Out of my price range for sure. It is a beautiful car. Is that top color correct? In my opinion it looks odd next to the wood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else could you buy for 140K? 15-20 cars on my bucket list. I just don't play in this sandbox. If I had a $1,000,000 then perhaps I would have 8-10 of these price cars but I still doubt it. Let's put it a different way. If you could buy this car at $140,000 or a 1948 Chrysler Windsor or New Yorker convertible for say, $40,000, why in the hell would you spend an extra $100,000 to enjoy essentially the same top down, take-me-back-to-the 40's convertible experience. There is a premium to be paid for that wood body, yes. But I'm 58, in 25 years or so I will assume room temperature - there is no way I am going to whisper to my daughters on my last breath "should....have....bought....that... town & c o u n t.... "What was that Dad?" Town and Count?" Do you know what he is talking about?"

Others were black, tan, blue (dark). There may have been more, too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
