This rare Town & Country convertible was delivered new to the K-cars greatest hero and proponent—Lee Iacocca. Illustrated as the shimmering grill of a Town & Country Convertible on the cover of the March 21, 1983 copy of Time Magazine, Lee's T&C has been lovingly kept and remains in remarkably original condition with under 20,500 original miles. Featuring the optional 2.2-liter turbocharged engine, this Light Ivory Cream convertible is one of just 501 examples produced in 1986, the final year of production. Harkening back to the pre-war 'woody' convertibles, these faux-wood clad examples typify American automotive styling in the 1980s.
This LeBaron has evaded the fate of many K-cars and remains an all-original example in lovely condition with no visible signs of oxidation. The innovative all-digital dash is in fully operable condition and the light interior is seemingly devoid of discoloration.
This rare and extremely original convertible is an interesting glimpse at an early attempt at retro-modern styling and is presented in its original, unmolested condition. Few cars capture the '80s American automotive zeitgeist as these 501 convertibles and this particular LeBaron offers a rare opportunity to attain an original and solid example. And unlike the example on
Seinfeld
with mistaken celebrity ownership history, this lucky Town & Country does indeed come from
Lee Iacocca.
