Chrysler 1947 Town & Country survivor, we are extremely pleased to offer this timeless postwar classic. The exterior has beautiful mahogany veneer over white ash wood frames, other notable features include 135 hp inline 8-cylinder engine, fluid drive automatic transmission w/steering column mounted shifter, hydraulic drum brakes for all wheels, independent front suspension, rear leaf spring suspension, front fog lamps driver side mounted spotlight. Only 8,368 of these were produced. This is an all original car with the exception of the wood appears to have been refinished because it is in such nice condition. The odometer shows 69,613 but I have no way to verify that it as actual. The car runs, drives and stops beautifully.

NOTES:

The Town and Country convertible came exclusively in New Yorker guise, meaning that it used Chrysler's 127.5-inch wheelbase and 135hp, 323.5-cubic-inch L-head straight-eight engine. It featured a finely trimmed interior that was upholstered in leather, Bedford cord or "Saran" woven plastic (the delightful Highlander tartan was optional, but no Town and Country convertibles were so upholstered at the factory), and a power-operated cloth convertible top was standard. The premium pricing of $2,998 (1947) illustrated the convertible's near-flagship status, with only the Crown Imperials being costlier, and a total of 8,375 convertibles were sold these three model years, which included 374 titled as 1st series 1949.

That prestige remains today, more than 60 years after these cars were first built. Chrysler Town and Country historian Bob Porter notes, "Although the prices of nice examples of all 1941 through 1950 Town and Country’s have been steadily climbing, the 1941 and 1942s are especially high. One reached $350,000 recently, and a 1947 eight-cylinder sedan brought nearly as much.
