The 1950's Dodge "spinner" wheel-covers were a coveted target of thefts, because they looked so good on any car.
The Chrysler corporate Town & Country radio could be controlled in three ways: Turning the tuning-knob, pressing a previously-set button for a specific station, or pressing a button, which would cause the radio to seek the next station with a strong broadcast signal on the dial. This last choice was very handy for long drives, when the driver is unfamiliar with the local stations.
For a touch of extra style, you could get rear fender skirts from your Dodge dealer or other sellers, such as JC Whitney catalogs. After all... What could be more suited for a lady's car than skirts? Also: If it had been a "men's car", wouldn't it have worn "Fender Kilts"? 😃
