I gave this car a full ground up restoration from a very badly rusted car completing the restoration in March 2003 . After the war we only got sedans sold in New Zealand . Any coupes or convertibles that did made it here were private imports so very few made it here . Mine was imported used from USA in 1948 and very roughly converted to RHD.
My father owned a Plymouth bodied Dodge when I was a kid and that gave me the desire to own a coupe one day . I ended up buying his old car to use as a donor car .

 The body was built by TJ Richards , Adelaide , Australia and that is why it a roadster and not a convertible coupe as in USA and ones sold in New Zealand. I bought this car off a friend . It was not running when I got it but got it running , rebuilt the brakes, etc so it is drivable but to  get it reregistered and warrant of fitness to be able to legally drive it I will have to restore it . I believe it is the only one in NZ . I do not have any history on the car .

I purchased this Catalina tan colored chariot in 1968 and it is reported to have been the 127th made that year .  I drove from Prince Edward Island Canada 700 miles to Boston, Mass. where I purchased it from an executor  of a deceased second owner  who had it advertised in Hemmings. This automobile came from the factory equipped with push button radio, twin spot and  fog lights and heaters, chrome  luggage rack hydramatic transmission & fluid coupling  with a flat head 6 cylinder engine .I added the Fulton exterior sun visor & other Chrysler accessories during my over forty years of ownership.  The car is perpetually antique licensed and driven on Canadian & sometimes US highways during the summer months,  built & sold  in the USA only  and cost approximately $3000.00 new from Chrysler dealerships .  In the opinion of many, including myself having owned over 100 vehicles during my lifetime ,this Town & Country is one of the better built ,durable automobiles ever manufactured by Chrysler or any other Corporation.
