Please call Matt directly at 513-708-1468 with any questions about
this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this absolutely
spectacular 1948 Chrysler Town & Country Convertible. The car has a
stunning paintjob, a beautiful interior, and the soft top looks
like new. It looks fantastic, runs well, and is a pleasure to
drive. It is finished in the gorgeous color combination of Catalina
Tan (9) over Burgundy/Tan Broadmoor Cord (42). This is correct
color scheme as verified by the codes on the trim tag, which is
pictured in this ad.
This is an excellent opportunity to own a very rare and highly
desirable classic Chrysler. The market on Chrysler Town & Country's
is very hot right now, especially for premium examples like this
car. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than
the purchase price in years to come. The low mileage is verified
not only by the condition of the car, but also the clear Ohio title
that shows the mileage as "Actual." Please peruse all of the
photos, video, and other information below to get a true sense of
how exceptionally nice this Chrysler really is.
As a side note, this Town & Country is not a dealer auction
vehicle. We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our
Classics come from owners who expect their cars to go to someone
that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did.
We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have
the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture.
We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
Chrysler, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Catalina Tan (9) exterior is in beautiful condition. As one can
see in the photos the paint has dazzling gloss, deep shine, and
smooth finish. The wood also looks great as does the woodgrain with
a very nice patina. According to the previous owner the wood on the
car is all original and the woodgrain finish is also original on
the sides of the car. The previous owner also said that he had all
of the Tan complete repainted and it looks great. He said the wood
on the trunk lid is original, but the woodgrain there on the metal
panels was also refinished. The chrome and brightwork on the car
look good overall. The wheels are in excellent condition with a
great finish and no curb rash. The tires were replaced by the
previous owner and have been used very sparingly since. They are
Coker Classic wide whitewall radials and sized 235/75R15. Please
note that these are radial tires, which greatly improves the
drivability of the car. There are no major blemishes that have been
intentionally excluded from the photos, there may be a few tiny
imperfections that were too small to show up in the photos, but
nothing that is noticeable from about five feet away. This car has
absolutely no rust issues. As one can see in the photos of the
underside the car is quite clean underneath.
Interior
The Burgundy/Tan Broadmoor Cord interior of this Chrysler looks
utterly splendid. The previous owner had the carpet and upholstery
restored and the quality of the workmanship and materials is
top-notch. The leather seats are in excellent condition with no
split seams, rips, or hardly any wear at all. The carpet is also in
great condition with no stains, rips, or holes. The dash is in nice
condition with no cracks or sun fading. The chrome and brightwork
inside the car also looks great overall. The gauge faces are clean
and crisp and the lenses are clear. The door panels look excellent.
This car has not been smoked in; there are obviously no burn marks
or aroma of cigarettes what-so-ever.
The trunk is very clean, highly detailed, and well-trimmed with a
full size spare tire and wheel.
Mechanical
This Chrysler Town & Country seems to be in good mechanical
condition. The straight eight engine starts every time and idles
smooth. The car drives nicely on the road and at highway speeds. In
the video below one can observe the car accelerating on the highway
up to about 60mph, braking to a stoplight, and going through some
curves. Please note that there are no vibrations or strange noises
and the car performs quite well overall. The brakes are responsive
and do not pull to one side or the other. The very interesting
"Fluid Drive Automatic" transmission operates well and shifts as
one can seen in the video. The shifter does not pop out of gear.
The clutch feels good. The gauge shows that the engine makes good
oil pressure. There is no blue smoke when starting or driving the
car. It runs cool and does not overheat. Also, the engine bay is
clean, nicely detailed, and correct as one can see from the
photos.
The headlights work as do the, brights, taillights, turn signals,
horn, wipers, and blower for the heater. All of the gauges work.
The defrost function also works and switches the airflow to the
windshield. The door locks work. The power top works, but needs
hand going up. The clock and does not work and we cannot get the
radio to play sound. Not enough can be said as to how much of a
pleasure it is to drive this Chrysler convertible, especially with
the top down on a nice day.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1948 Chrysler Town & Country Convertible is in
marvelous condition. The low miles, nice condition, the
originality, and the beautiful color combination make this car
especially important and difficult to duplicate. This Chrysler
always gets a ton of attention driving down the road. It is very
apparent that the vehicle has been well taken care of by its
previous owners. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several
years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal
effort.
Thank you for looking and please email or call with any
questions.
