This 1947 Chrysler Town and Country Convertible is part of the
collection of a good friend and client of ours. He is known for
meticulously maintaining and caring for his vehicles and he enjoys
driving them regularly. This Town and Country has been his vehicle
of choice for cruising around the community near his beach home in
the Pacific Northwest. The gorgeous color combination, beautiful
interior and easy drivability make this Classic Car Club of America
Full Classic Town and Country a perfect choice to be enjoyed on
CARavans, tours and in shows. 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 enthusiasts collection.
