The 1941-48 Chrysler Town and Country has been added to the Classic Car Club of America's list of "Approved Full Classic Cars."

Terry Johnson of Colorado, who has pushed for years for this change, said, "I can't tell you how happy I am to finally achieve this designation at CCCA. I guess the old saying of never, ever give up is demonstrated here."
