This Chrysler was acquired new in San Diego, CA and is believed to have spent most of its life in Hawaii. The current owner, Bradley Huson, of Ruston, WA acquired the Town and Country in 2009 from Tom Crook Classic Cars in Seattle, WA. Mr. Huson has enjoyed and maintained the Chrysler over the past 14 years and has restored portions of the car only as needed. Mr. Huson drives his Town and Country regularly and it has become well known in his beach community in the Pacific Northwest.

The livery of this Town and Country is a gorgeous Polo Green (Code #5) with beautiful luster and shine with just a few minor imperfections that are only noticeable upon close inspection. The Polo Green is a beautiful complement to the coach-built wood body framed in White Ash with insert panels of Honduran Mahogany. All the detailed woodwork shows well overall and is in very nice structural condition. The Mahogany inserts have not been restored and are showing some patina. Nearly all the hardware has been re-chromed and shows beautifully apart from the door handles and a few small pieces. The gorgeous dark green powered Haartz canvas convertible top shows very well inside and out and operates beautifully and fits snuggly. The matching dark green canvas top boot is in beautiful condition and snaps in place nicely. The chrome wheel covers show very well, and the wheels are wrapped in period correct Firestone Deluxe Champion wide white wall tires.

The interior upholstery is complete in beautiful green leather with tan pleated Bedford cord inserts. The upholstery and matching door panels show beautifully overall. The dash is finished in Polo Green which is a nice complement to the beautiful chrome gauge cluster, radio, and controls. The gauges all appear to be functioning properly. The dash shows some minor imperfections in high wear areas only and shows well overall. The carpet is a beautiful dark green wool with dark green leather binding, all matching the dark green canvas top and top boot. The carpet shows well overall and is in very nice condition due to the continued use of tan, woven floor mats. The three-spoke Polo Green steering wheel and chrome horn assembly, which is emblazoned with “Fluid Drive” are in nice condition and feels good in your hands. The trunk area is beautifully detailed and comes complete with a matching wide whitewall spare. The interior is in very nice overall condition and shows beautifully.

The Town and Country engine compartment has been well detailed and painted and is home to the 323 ci L-Head Straight-Eight Cylinder engine which produces 135 hp and runs strong and quietly. The Straight-Eight is mated to the Presto-Matic 4-Speed Fluid Drive Semi-Automatic transmission which shifts smoothly and operates quietly. The chassis has been cleaned and painted and looks terrific.

This Chrysler Town and Country is as much a joy to drive as it is to look at. It is ready to be enjoyed on local tours and shows and would be a great addition to any enthusiast’s collection.

The post 1947 Chrysler Town and Country Convertible appeared first on Classic Promenade.

This is one of 993 Town and Country convertibles produced in 1949 and is of the last 30 made in the production run.  The survival rate is low, and it is believed that only about 15% survived.  This Town and Country received a concours quality, no-expense spared restoration in the mid-1980s by owner Forrest R. Wilkerson of Fort Mill, SC and was competing in concours competitions by the Summer of 1988. She won a First Junior award at the AACA national meet in Hershey, Pennsylvania in 1988. She was sold in late-1988 to James K. Adams of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The Chrysler was exhibited at Hershey three more times taking home a First Grand National award and a First Preservation award in 1990 and a Senior Grand National  award in 1992. She was also an award winner at the first Amelia Island Concours in 1996.  By 2011, she was sold overseas to a collector in The Netherlands where she was on display in an automotive museum in the Netherlands. Our clients, conscientious collectors in Sullivans Island, SC purchased her several years ago from the Netherlands collector. Our clients have maintained her gorgeous restoration condition to this day.

The exterior of this Chrysler is stunning. The Town and Country livery is the very rare Chrysler Pepper Red. This example is one of the only examples produced in Pepper Red, which makes her very desirable to collectors. Her paint and blonde ash framing on the exterior panels glisten and are in beautiful condition. All her finishes, including the chrome, are still in show quality condition. The tan canvas power convertible top is in excellent condition and shows very well. The power convertible top functions very well and her brown vinyl top boot is in excellent condition. Overall, the exterior is in excellent show condition.

The interior is complete in Cognac Brown Leather and is complimented by beautiful brown carpeting. The leather is soft and supple, and the stunning interior shows near-new overall. The Cognac Brown leather dashboard appears as new.  The Town and Country was the first production car to feature a “padded dash”.  The steering wheel and gauges are all stunningly designed and in beautiful condition. The speedometer is non-functioning as is the clock, but overall, the interior is in near-new condition.  We are hoping to repair the speedometer.

This Chrysler comes with its 323 cu in Spitfire inline 8-cylinder engine. The 135hp at 3,200 rpms are transferred through its 3-speed Prestomatic fluid drive transmission which has two forward gears and an electric overdrive unit that can be applied in either gear for a total of four forward speeds. The engine compartment is well detailed and shows beautifully. The chassis is well detailed and shows very well. This Chrysler performs very well and her engine and transmission are quiet and powerful.  Everything feels tight and correct.

We have this Town and Country priced right as the Hagerty No. 2 plus value is in excess of $82,000.

We are selling this on behalf of an estate for the former owner for the past 26 years. The car, with little effort, would make a very nice tour car that would be welcome in most all shows and concours events. As a full classic with the CCCA, this can be used in CARAvans and other major events.

Cosmetically, the Town & Country looks very sharp! The paint is nice for touring and local shows, as are the interior and wood. The chrome is good to very good. The chrome is overall nice with the pot metal pieces having pitting that is obvious upon close examination. The glass is very nice. The canvas top is correct and the top mechanism works really well, too!

The engine is very strong with good performance and oil pressure. The electronics work well, including the instruments, heater, radio and clock. It has all new brakes, including the shoes, master, wheel cylinders, etc. A full tune up including ignition wires, plugs, points, etc. was performed and a full service, as well. She runs beautifully!

The chassis is completely free of rust and has not been restored or detailed. There are no patches or issues with this T&C. It shows that this is a rock solid, honest woodie. The suspension would benefit from new bushings. First gear needs to be adjusted, but otherwise the drivetrain is very good. It has the Fluidrive transmission. The exhaust has some small holes that need to be repaired or replaced. The tires hold pressure fine, but are very old and need to be replaced. The radiator has a small leak and would benefit from a full cleaning.

It is missing the two spotlight lenses, the tube for the ignition wires, a screw for one taillight, the starter is now a button (but the starterator components are in the carb). All else is original and in good shape.

The T&C is located in San Marcos, CA, is available for inspection and will require about 21 days to gain final approval from the court/heirs for the sale to finalized. Please call me at 602-245-7200 or email me at sales@classicpromenade.com with questions. This is a terrific opportunity to add a wonderful classic to your collection for a great value.

This is the absolute top-of-the-line wagon available for 1958: the Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country 9-passenger wagon!!  Although not yet confirmed, it was stated that only about 428 of the New Yorker Town & Country Wagons were made in 1958, making it one of the most rare luxury wagons ever offered.  This particular wagon is rarer still as it was fitted from new with most of the options available in 1958, such as:

• Factory air conditioning
• Cruise control
• Nine passenger configuration (rather than six)
• Full power including windows, seats, etc.

This T&C Wagon was ordered new in Los Angeles by a gentleman and was kept by him until about 1972, when the wagon received its second owner.  This wagon has survived so well because it has been in California or Arizona its entire life.  According to research, only 14 of these Wagons are extant today.

392 cu in Hemi!!!

This particular T&C Wagon garnered considerable attention from its last owner, Gary Whitehead.  Gary searched for some time for a worthy New Yorker Town & Country Wagon to restore and found this example in Arizona.  Upon acquiring it in 1998, Gary embarked on a full restoration, including: full engine and transmission rebuild (at considerable expense), brakes, suspension, electrical components and full cosmetics.   We have the pleasure of completing minor details to make this an even stronger candidate for concours events and touring.

Gary maintained a comprehensive file of the restoration history which confirms an investment of considerable time and expenditure.   He also personalized this example by choosing colors similar to those offered by Chrysler but specific to his unique tastes.

The livery is finished in a handsome deep red with white contracts.  The interior is finished in red with grey “Fontainbleau” Jacquard cloth inserts faithfully reproduced by SMS fabrics to the original specifications.  The odometer presently shows 51,200 miles and we cannot ascertain the total mileage due to the restoration.

Of course this New Yorker has the famous 392 hemi V8 (6.4L) with 345 hp pared with the venerable three-speed Torque-Flite push-button automatic transmission providing ample power for modern use as well as towing boats and Airstream trailers!

The 1958 Chryslers are spectacular motorcars.  In 1957, Chrysler made a major breakthrough by introducing the torsion bar front suspension.  This configuration created one of the best handling luxury wagons of all time.

The suspension, pared with the low stance and wide tracking wheels make for a great handling motorcar.  This particular T&C Wagon also has a newer set of wide white walled radials for event better safety and handling.

We enjoy having this T&C Wagon and will continue to update this information as we complete the minor details and participate in various events with this fabulous motorcar!  Please contact us with any questions!!
