This Impressive Town and Country Remained in Single-Family Ownership in New York state From NEW. It was stored on Blocks in a Heated Garage since the 1953 death of the Family's patriarch, with 39,000 Original Miles showing on the odometer. Ownership passed to his daughter, who renewed the registration each year, but, could not bring herself to drive the car. It remained in the heated garage until she passed in 2007.

It was Sympathetically Freshened by a close Family Friend, a Service Manager of a local Dealership. He periodically ran the car during the decades in storage and handled the annual registration renewals.
