Chevrolet Townsman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chevrolet Townsman was a station wagon produced by Chevrolet from 1953 to 1957 and again from 1968 to 1972. Based on the rear-wheel drive GM B platform, it was available with a straight 6 and a selection of V8s. It's sedan equivalent was the Bel Air. It was considered a little more deluxe than the Chevrolet Brookwood, but not quite as nice as the Chevrolet Kingswood and Kingswood Estate, which were Impala-level cars. In 1971, a power rear window was added as well as a tailgate that disappeared beneath the floor. That year wheelbase also increased from 119" to 125," the longest of any Chevrolet regular passenger car ever produced.
