The green bean 1977 Chrysler Town & Country

[Mr.Miller]

I just picked up a 1977 Chrysler Town & Country 440. It’s claimed to have 35,000 original miles and is fairly well optioned.

The short version of the story I got with the car is this: it was dropped off at a mechanic’s shop for repairs, the bill was paid, but no one ever came back to pick it up. The car ended up sitting there for about two years before an employee at the shop took it home. Eventually, he sold it to me. She was last wearing Montana plates.

I’m new to Mopars and still learning, so I’d appreciate any facts, history, or stories about these cars that you’re willing to share.

Greetings and welcome to FCBO.

Nice score. Thanks for sharing.

I've circles something on your picture. There are, appears to be two, metal tags fixed to the radiator support that contain numbers and letters, This metal tag is is commonly called a fender tag. The tags were used to help identify what certain options came on the car as well as paint and interior trim level codes letting the plant folks what color the exterior was to be painted and what trim was to be installed in the car.

There are folks like me that collect data from tags and enter them into data bases. That helps us see patters of when certain cars were built, common colors schemes and what percentage of cars came. with which options.

Several of us would greatly appreciate legible pictures of these tags for our research.

Thanks and, again, welcome. Tell us more.
