Car of the Week: 1970 Dodge Adventurer pickup

This 1970 Dodge D100 Adventurer pickup made its way back home.

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.

We'd buy that: 1947 Chrysler Town & Country convertible

This '47 Chrysler T&C convertible is a stunner! It checks off all the boxes. Yeah, we'd buy that!

The market for these babies went through the roof a few years back, and it's pretty much stayed there. We haven't seen as many high-end examples trading hands lately at the bigger auctions, but this spectacular example is sure to turn some heads at Mecum's Indy Auction starting later this week.
