In 2001, Preston Stephens passed away and the pickup was sold. The new owner, Bill Brown, took exceptional care of the truck. Soon after buying it, he sent the truck to Curt's Autobody in Pocomoke, Md., for a body--off--frame restoration.  Preston's son, Ira heard through the grapevine that his family's old Dodge had been restored and spotted at some of the local car shows. He was sure it was his family's pickup since the Turquoise Adventurer is unusual in that it is equipped with the standard Slant-Six and three-speed manual transmission as most Adventurer-optioned pickup trucks came with V-8 engines and automatic transmissions.

Why Town Car luxury died Once a sign of status, the Town Car eventually caved to public perception. A "ride in luxury" isn't always what a person might think it to be, depending on the era of automobile transport. Today, riding in ultimate luxury conjures visions of a personal driver, extreme roominess in the rear compartment, privacy, overstuffed seating and ultimate electronic and personal amenities. Indeed, there were elements of these attributes in the distant past, but perhaps not exactly as perceived today.
