I’m going up the country
Baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm going up the country
Baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm going to some place
Where I've never been before
--Going Up the Country; written by Alan Wilson; recorded by Canned Heat
What country is that? Well, it’s the Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country Convertible that I introduced in my previous set of car show uploads. Check out this amazing interior: Chrome everywhere! And how about that tartan fabric on the door panel? The audio speaker grille set in the middle of the dash at first glance looks like it could be a spot for a modern touch-screen navigation system. It is flanked by the radio controls on the left and a clock on the right.

Greetings from a fellow motor head!
Plaid cloth became a thing in the 1970s, but you're right; Chrysler was the first car maker to offer it as an option.
And yes: Chrysler was always the red-headed stepchild of the American Big Three automakers. They never had the market share that Ford and GM had. That may be why their cars were always a bit...different.
I once had a 1958 DeSoto Fireflyte four-door sedan in two-tone blue that had everything from a pushbutton transmission to a record player; it was loaded. I miss that car...
