After World War II, Chrysler recognised the intense demand for passenger cars. However, a shortage of steel meant that the company needed to be clever with its materials. For the first time, wooden bodies were used on passenger cars—to resounding success.
The Town and Country Convertible was built on the upscale New Yorker chassis, yet it offered a wide variety of luxurious appointments in addition to the New Yorker’s many standard features. With a starting price of $3,420, the Town and Country Convertible was the most expensive Chrysler model available. The car offered here is equipped with the standard eight-cylinder in-line engine and features the solid White Ash wooden frame with mahogany veneer insert panels.
This Town and Country was born Catalina tan with a matching hood. Now resplendent in a lovely green, chassis 7401951 has been in single ownership in Switzerland at least since 1990. Invoices show consistent maintenance, including 280 hours of work to the wood trim and interior in 2017, making sure that the wood displays as beautifully as possible.
