1948 Chrysler Town And Country for sale. Motorcar Classics is proud to present this brilliant 1948 Chrysler New Yorker Town and Country Convertible that has been restored and maintained to the highest concours standards. For 1948, Chryslers top-of-the-line New Yorker Town and Country convertible was built with a combination of ash framing, mahogany veneer, and steel. The bodies were crafted with a complex series of interlocking miter joints with woodworking skills and a finish that would be the envy of the finest yachts. The Town and Country is recognized by the CCCA as a Full Classic, making the model a member of an exclusive and select list of post-war vehicles that are eligible for prestigious CCCA CARavans and events. This car will be welcome on any concours field.
According to the town and country Registry, 2,936 cars were produced in 1948. 196 are known to survive. Our car is featured in Catalina Tan paint Red trim, and Taupe Bedford Cord interior with a matching Taupe convertible top. The car was meticulously restored in colors matching the original trim tag. It is powered by the Chrysler Spitfire 323CI inline 8-cylinder L-head motor with the Fluid-Drive hydraulically operated transmission. It has recorder 58,961 miles. The history file includes receipts for a complete mechanical overhaul in 2010. Everything sparkles on this car and the view from behind the wheel is particularly impressive with its long hood and deco-inspired dashboard. But to the experienced eye, the truly outstanding appeal of this example is the quality and finish of the wood and intricate joints. We have not seen its equal.
This beautiful Town and Country was last shown in 2011 at the Greystone Mansion Concours in Los Angeles, and it was last sold at Gooding's prestigious 2011 Pebble Beach event. It is ready to be the center of attention at any major concours. For a serious collector of Full classics, a town and Country is a must. We respectfully submit that this is one of the best.
