Nearly all cars to earn the vaunted status of Classic Car Club of America Full Classic date from before World War II, when flamboyant styling and exceptional craftsmanship combined to create exclusive rolling sculptures. Chryslers beautiful Town and Country models, produced in limited numbers from 1946 to 1948, are notable exceptions. Rare when new and rarer today, these artfully designed wood-bodied offerings rightly stand among the pre-war greats as Full Classics.
Offered in a range of body styles under Chryslers New Yorker, Royal, and Windsor lines, the Town and Country shared those models respective wheelbases and straight-eight engines. The coveted model within the lineup was the Town and Country Convertible, which was based on Chryslers top-of-the-line New Yorker Series for 1947 with a price tag of $2,998.
The 1947 model offered here was restored two owners ago by the noted Al Prueitt & Sons in Glen Rock, Pennsylvania. Finished in the proper factory color of Catalina Tan (code 9), with a power operated tan convertible top, it rides on wide whitewall tires with factory wheel covers. The exterior is equipped with a center bumper guard, fog lights, a drivers side spotlight, as well as an exhaust extension. The two-tone interior features an AM radio, dash clock, and heater. This example is believed to be one of 8,368 produced in total from 1946 to 1948.
A CCCA Full Classic, the Chrysler Town and Country models have been held in high regard since their release and remain a must-have for any collector of post-war American marques.
