Please call us to schedule an appointment in our Tampa location. Chrysler's beautiful, wood-bodied Town and Country models, produced in limited numbers from 1941 through 1950 with a hiatus during World War II, were instantly renowned for their exquisite construction, which included a combination of structural white ash and rich Honduran mahogany paneling, all skillfully finished with the same attention to detail as fine furniture. Artisanal touches such as exposed finger joinery and complex contours showcased a level of craftsmanship that was becoming increasingly rare in mass-produced automobiles. The 1946 through 1948 Town and Country models are notable for being among the few post-war vehicles to have earned the coveted Full Classic title from the Classic Car Club of America, a vaunted status largely reserved for models produced before World War II, during a period in which flamboyant styling and exceptional craftsmanship combined to create exquisite rolling sculptures. Rare when new and rarer today, these artfully designed Chryslers with genuine timber bodywork rightly stand among the pre-war greats. Offered in a range of body styles under Chrysler's New Yorker, Royal, and Windsor lines, the Town and Country shared those models' respective wheelbases and engines. Though the convertible body style on the New Yorker platform is popular among collectors, the Windsor Town and Country Sedan is rarer. Our sedan is one of only 2,651 produced for the 1947 model year, according to Chrysler's Classic Woodie by Don Narus.  This example is finished in correct Sea Mist Green over lovely green leather with Highlander plaid inserts. Although it is an older restoration, the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail still shines more than 20 years later, thanks in no small part to its careful upkeep. It is powered by a correct 251 CI L Head inline six cylinder engine, mated to a 3 speed column shift automatic transmission. This Town and Country also features an incredible wooden roof rack as well as dual remote spotlights. This vehicle is available to view by appointment only.
