1949 was the last year Chrysler listed the Town & Country Convertible on its price list. It was also the last time the Town& Country came with a fully steel body. The car has a 5.3 litre straight-eight delivering 135 Ps coupled to a 3-speed semi-automatic. It was also the first post-war Chrysler. The main distinction between the ‘48 and ‘49 model is the increased wheel base. The economy was still recovering, meaning that not many people could afford such a luxurious car. This in turn led to only 993 being sold by Chrysler.
This example has already once been restored including a complete new ash frame. The bodywork and frame are in top quality order. The bodywork has nice and thin, correctly aligned panelwork. The chassis is also in very shape. The hood was also replaced at the time of the restoration and shuts securely.
The interior is in good shape. The controls and instruments are all in good working order. With its 135 Ps and weighing over two tonnes the Chrysler Town & Country is never going to be a sports car. It does however make it an ideal cruiser. The semi-automatic 3-speed suits the engine character perfectly.
Restoring a car like this is almost an impossible task. Just re-fabricating the frame costs a fortune. Why bother when you can step into this fine example. The hard work has already been taken care off by someone else. All you need to do is step in and enjoy!

1949 was het laatste jaar waarin Chrysler de Town & Country Convertible op de prijslijsten had staan. Het was tevens het eerste jaar waarin de Town & Country een volledige stalen body had. De auto wordt aangedreven door een 5.3 liter acht-in-lijn motor die 135 pk levert en is gekoppeld aan een halfautomatische transmissie met drie versnellingen. Het was tevens het eerste nieuwe Chrysler model sinds de tweede wereldoorlog. Meest opvallende verschil met de 1948 Chrysler Town & Country is de toegenomen wielbasis. De economie was nog volop aan het herstellen van de oorlog en daardoor konden maar weinig mensen zo’n luxe auto betalen. Dat zorgde er voor dat Chrysler maar 993 stuks van de Town & Country wist te verkopen.
Dit exemplaar is al eens gerestaureerd waarbij het essenhouten frame volledig is vernieuwd. Het frame en de carrosserie verkeren in top staat. De carrosserie heeft mooi dun plaatwerk en correcte passingen. Ook het chassis verkeert in zeer goede conditie. De cabrioletkap is destijds ook vernieuwd en sluit overal mooi aan.
Het interieur verkeert in goede staat De bedieningselementen en instrumenten verkeren allen in goede staat en functioneren zoals het hoort. Met zijn 135 pk en gewicht van ruim 2 ton is de Chrysler Town & Country natuurlijk geen sportauto. Het maakt de auto echter wel tot een ideale cruiser. De semi-automatische transmissie met drie versnellingen past perfect bij het karakter van de motor.
Een auto als deze restaureren is haast onbegonnen werk. Alleen het opnieuw vervaardigen van het frame kost al een kapitaal. Waarom zou u ook de moeite doen als u ook in zo’n prachtig exemplaar kunt stappen. Het harde werk is al door een ander gedaan, het enige dat u nog hoeft te doen is in te stappen en te genieten.
