The 2014 Chrysler Town & Country 30th Anniversary Edition will come have such luxuries as 17-inch wheels, Granite Crystal Pearl paint, unique badging and all the “special” amenities available in the model. Similarly, the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary Edition will include the same extra features and rims, as well as standout silver interior stitching and a knockout black paint job.
