Chevrolet Townsman

The Chevrolet Townsman was a full-size station wagon produced by Chevrolet from 1953 to 1957 and again from 1969 to 1972. The Townsman name was first used in 1953 on the 210 series four-door station wagon, which used the GM A platform. For 1954 the name was updated to the luxury Bel Air series station wagon, which featured DI-NOC woodgrain paneling. A 235.5 cubic inch inline six-cylinder engine was standard, with V8s available beginning in 1955. The name was revived for 1969 on a rear-wheel drive GM B platform model.
