Chrysler

Town & Country

Usual

Lamborghini Paramus

I purchased the "car in a shopping bag" as my wife called it, in the late fall of 2003. The original engine and transmission were mounted to the chassis. The salvageable parts were in boxes. Fortunately, the impossible to find brightwork, such as trunk hinges, door hinges, door latches & catches and trim rings wereall in the car. Enough interior leather & Bedford Cord were in the car. That made copying the seat covers, including exact stitch patterns a manageable exercise.As per the build sheet (IBM type punch card supplied by Chrysler) the car was sold new in Logan, UT. The story I was told when I 1st saw the car was that made its way to the Midwest in the 50's and sat in a field in Kansas for decades whereupon the wood almost completely disintegrated. During the restoration, we found a pencil with a Kansas company and address on it. The story was true.Once I received the car in Dec '2003, I began the arduous task of emptying all the boxes in my basement and cataloging EVERY part-including screws and clips. In addition, I took hundreds of photos. The shop I trusted with the restoration began disassembling the car and the list of needed sheet metal and body panels was surprisingly small. The T&C has its original hood, fenders, and rear quarter panels. The wood, of course, was a different matter entirely. Not a singlepiece of the ash structure or the mahogany panel inserts was useable; not even for templates.The mechanical and cosmetic work was done mostly by American Muscle Car Restorations in North Kingstown, RI. The engine was rebuilt by Promar Engine of Patterson, NJ. All the woodwork was done by Glazier Pattern & Coachworks in Houston, OH. Steve Glazier has been known for decades as the finest Town & Country woodwork shop in the USA. The interior work was done by a shop in Piqua, OH with special attention paid to the correct "hog's hair" carpet, includingthe Town & Country correct brown color in the trunk and floor mats. The headliner is the correct aircraft type synthetic material. The chrome and stainless was restored by The Finishing Touch of Chicago, IL.The 12-year restoration was a labor of love for me with incalculable help from my Dad. He made endless phone calls hunting down parts and making friends along the way. Before he passed away, he saw the car win 1st in class at Greenwich. The car also won best in class at Hilton Head, Keenland and Ault Park, among other shows. The car was awarded an almost impossible to attain perfect 100 points by the CCCA (Classic Car Club of America). With 182 test miles, the car starts, the "Fluid Drive" semi-automatic transmission shifts. Overall, the T&C stops and runs like a new 1947 car. The radio & NOSclock work. The doors lock, the windows operate, the lights all work as new. The list goes on and on. Original owner manual, sales brochure and Chrysler mechanical books go with the car.This Town & Country is 1 of less than several dozen left in existence. It is, without doubt, the finest example of this most unusual automobile. This T&C will very likely be the only one of its type you will ever see. I will miss the car once it finds a new owner.

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Hershey event, 8 - 9 October 2025. rnOffered Without Reserve | $85,000 - $100,000 USD rnrnOne of only 2,651 Town and Country Sedans produced for 1947rnExquisitely restored under previous ownership by marque expert John MunsonrnAcquired from 22 years within John White's Ramshead Automobile Collection in SacramentornBeautifully finished in correct Polo Green over green leather with plaid insertsrnAACA Senior National First Prize in 2023 and Grand National winner in 2024rnCCCA Full Classicrn rnrnChrysler'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.rnrnThe 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.rnrnOffered 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 straight-eight engines. Though the convertible body style on the New Yorker platform is popular among collectors, the Windsor Town and Country Sedan is rarer.rnrnThe stunning Chrysler Windsor Town and Country Sedan offered here is one of only 2,651 produced for the 1947 model year, according to Chrysler's Classic Woodie by Don Narus. West Coast collector John White is said to have acquired the car from its original California owners in 1998. He then commissioned marque expert John Munson to undertake a comprehensive restoration completed in 2004, according to correspondence on file. Photos showing the body fully disassembled and numerous parts invoices dating back to 2000 attest to the effort expended on bringing this Town and Country Sedan back to concours condition.rnrnBeautifully finished in correct Polo Green over lovely green leather with plaid inserts, the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail bestowed during its restoration and subsequent upkeep still shines through. It is no wonder, then, that the sedan became a triple award-winner with a 100-point score from the Classic Car Club of America in 2018.rnrnThe car would remain a part of White's Ramshead Automobile Collection in Sacramento for 22 years, before joining another esteemed collection in 2020. Even after changing hands, its accolades continued, as the car won an Antique Automobile Club of America Senior National First Prize in 2023 and became a Grand National winner in 2024.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
