The Chrysler Town & Country started life before WWII, in 1940. Production was interrupted in 1942 but resumed in 1945 and continued until 1988. Most Town & Country versions built were as luxury station wagons. They were also available in "Woodie" sedans, hardtops, and convertibles. Fewer than 8,400 Town & Country Convertibles were built from 1946 to 1948.
This beautiful 1947 Chrysler Town & Country 2-door Convertible is a prime example of Chrysler's flagship of the postwar period. The car wears an older restoration that is still showing very nicely. The "Woodie" and green exterior is wrapped around a green and tan interior, all protected by a tan convertible top. The dashboard features elegant brightwork and trim and is bookended by dual searchlight controls.
The car has been well maintained while residing in a large collection. The undercarriage is as clean as the rest of the car and shows what little mileage was added after the restoration. The clean straight-eight engine runs great, and the mated fluid-drive transmission operates very smoothly.
Overall, this 1947 Chrysler Town & Country Convertible drives well and presents beautifully inside and out. Today, they are among the most highly prized American automobiles of their era and an extremely collectible and sought-after American Icon. This rare and iconic Town & Country Convertible would be a charming addition to any collection.
