1947 Chrysler Town & Country Convertible

offered with a reserve

This car is finished in Chrysler Catalina tan with a taupe top. The interior is truly stunning with the striking combination of taupe colored cloth and burgundy leather bolsters on the seats and door panels, complimented by a matching burgundy tonneau cover for the convertible top storage area. Tan carpeting is neatly trimmed with burgundy leather. The trunk is fully carpeted in a matching burgundy color. Features include factory radio, factory heater, dual spot lights, fog light, and an electrically powered top.
The 1946 to 1948 Town and Country models are now full CCCA Classics.

This 1947 Town & Country convertible has at most about 500 miles since it completed a frame-off restoration. The car remains in show condition, having been kept in a heated show garage and driven only sufficient miles to keep it safely functional. This car hasn't been shown competitively yet, although it did appear at the Kirkland Concours in 2008, but as exhibition only, so it still has a lot of trophies to accummulate. While the car is a sure winner at most events it would require some minor tweaking to achieve 100 points in a CCCA Grand Classic.

If you are looking for a top flite Town and Country Convertible, I think you would be hard pressed to find a better example on the market today.

The Chrysler Town and Country convertible occupies a special position in automotive history as the only wood-bodied convertible built in series on a luxury chassis. Originally conceived in 1939 by Dave Wallace and introduced in 1941, the Town & Country was initially available in only as a barrel-back station wagon with beautiful wooden bodywork.

In 1946, the Town and Country Sedan and its glamorous companion convertible debuted and were an instant success. Priced from $2,725 these elegant conertibles were the most expensive models available in the entire Chrysler model range and only 8,368 were produced from 1946 to 1948.

Produced only for the one model year of 1947, the C-39 Series Town & Country convertibles and sedans were the most distinctive production cars on the road and the convertibles sold for approximately $3,400. 3,305 convertibles were produced in 1947. With its white ash and mahogany trim, the Town & Country convertible evokes the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Powered by the reliable Spitfire 135 HP, 323 cubic inch eight-cylinder L-head engine and Fluid Drive semi- automatic transmission, the Town & Country drives almost effortlessly while carrying a full load of passengers and cargo. It is built on a 127” chassis, with independent suspension, front coil springs, semi-elliptic rear leaf springs with rigid live axle, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.
