come on guys, the post was up for days and no one else was even considerate enough to help this man unload this burden and now all of a sudden you folks jump on the wagon.....for shame for shame....it would be in good company with my two other town sedans...

 

Well,, we needed you to break the ice, lol.  Seriously though, that is a nice survivor.

Beautiful car for sure, today is first time I saw it.

There was actually such a thing as a "Military Maroon"?

Every military sedan I have ever seen was either gray (Navy,Coast Guard) or olive drab,with a strong emphasis on the "drab".

 

No matter how old you get,you can still learn something new every day.

 

On good days,you can even remember some stuff you used to know!

 

 

Military maroon is just a name for 46 to early 49 dodge cars, my 47 is Military maroon but has nothing to do with military designations.

[MarcDeSoto]

Yes, Chrysler cars used many military names during the WWII era.  Dodge had Bombadier Blue, Seaplane Blue, Cadet Gray; Chrysler had Spitfire engines; etc.  I like the interior on that car, partly original and part seat covers.  I like it.  I'm not sure why there was a Town Sedan or what the purpose of it was.  Possibly some people did not want  sucide doors, especially with children.

Unfortunately, we haven't heard any replies from Mr. Stewart.  Maybe we didnt make a good first impression.  Probably hasn't been lurking long enough to pick up on the group vibe.  Hope we haven't run him off.

Could be he was just posting photos of his "new" car to show-off/bragg,and now he has that out of his system?

 

I freely admit I lust after a find like that,and am excited that someone found and rescued it.

[Plymouthy Adams]

I'll give you the first in line Knuckle, but I will hold reservations on stating "recused"  

[Frank Elder]

I think he is busy with his car.....but as my old pappy used to say, “ You can’t save every pup in the pound.”.

[neil and ethan]

From the look of it,  it seems it has been rescued a long time. My first thought is look at all the work that does not have to be done, sure curious on  the price tag for all  that conveince

  I have the suicide version,that I  would sure like to get the outer wheel trim rings for at some point.

If you did,it's because you cheated,so it doesn't count.

[Mister B]

OOOPS!??

I GOT CAUGHT. BUT IT STILL COUNTS -- AT LEAST IN MY BOOK

EVEN SO I STILL DON'T HAVE THE CAR!!!!!!

[Dan Hiebert]

Too bad we're getting crickets back, I'd like to hear and see more of any original car that's in good shape.  I especially enjoy rare, or rather, less-than-common models like Mr. Stewart's Town Car.  I think I can still count on both hands how many I've seen, and I've only ever seen one in person (which is still where I saw it 20 years ago, guy has a yard full of old cars, wouldn't sell any of them back then, too far away to worry about now).

I believe the only one I've seen on person is soup cans by now. That junkyard got crushed out about 10 years ago. At least part of that car lives on in my coupe and plymouthy's town sedan.

Good looking car.   Appears to need some, cleaning, shining and tuning up.  Probably a new set of tires.  Otherwise,

it is a good "time capsule" of originality.   Yes, those plaid sort of things on the seats are seat covers.....which were

very commonly used.....likely installed on this car by the selling dealer.  Unless they are somehow not usable, I would

just leave 'em there.     Let us know what you decide to do.   Bob.
