Vehicle Description
The Chrysler Town and Country was introduced in 1941 as a
wood-bodied car with the same basic lines as Chrysler's
steel-bodied models, yet one that also had greater refinement,
quality, panache and a level of artistry that recalled a bygone
era. In fact, its ash and mahogany-framed body, which was
hand-built with techniques more closely associated with fine wooden
boat construction, projected an image of affluence and leisure that
increased traffic at Chrysler dealerships nationwide.
For 1946 the convertible coupe variant was introduced, based on the
upscale New Yorker series and, with a starting price of $3420, the
most expensive Chrysler model available. While about 8,400 examples
were built in 1948, only few survive today.
The car offered here is largely original, including its refinished
woodwork, while the body has been repainted the authentic
special-order color of seacrest green with a green and tan leather
interior and tan canvas convertible top. Accessories include an
under dashboard heater, driving lights, and a driver's side
spotlight. Equipped with the semi-automatic two-speed transmission
with Fluid Drive and Chrysler's L-head 323ci straight eight, the
Town and Country records 64,556 miles, believed to be actual..
This is a beautiful example of one of Chrysler's most prestigious
post-war models, now recognised as a full classic by the classic
car club of America.
