1947 Chrysler Town & Country Convertible
One of only 2,651 woodie convertibles produced in 1947, this stunning Chrysler Town & Country is an exceptional example of postwar American luxury and craftsmanship. It underwent a meticulous, concours-level restoration in the early 1990s and has been beautifully preserved ever since. Listed in the official Town & Country Registry, this car represents one of the finest examples of its kind, and finding one in comparable condition would be nearly impossible.
Finished in its original Dove Gray with a Burgundy power convertible top, this Town & Country features breathtaking woodwork and an exquisite Highlander Plaid–style interior. The body and paint remain in excellent condition, a testament to the quality and care invested in its restoration. Nearly $40,000 was recently spent upgrading the interior with a custom, high-quality Highlander Plaid design that elevates the car’s already elegant presentation. The power convertible top functions properly and is in great shape, with only a small blemish from a past lightbulb mishap.
Under the hood, the car is powered by Chrysler’s 323ci Spitfire Straight 8-cylinder engine paired with a 2-speed Fluid Drive transmission, providing the smooth and effortless performance these cars were known for. Additional features include dual spotlights, fog lights, an AM radio, dash clock, under-dash heater with defrost, full-size spare in the trunk, and bumper guards.
Simply put, this Town & Country is breathtaking in person—its craftsmanship, condition, and elegance are unmatched. A true collector’s dream and one of the most beautiful woodie convertibles ever produced.

I see the finish is lifting on the upper right trunk panel. Is this an issue anywhere else on the car?
No, that is the only spot
Is the mahogany actual wood veneer, or di-noc?
Chrysler used actual wood, not vinyl.
Chrysler used actual wood. Quite a few restored cars, however, have had the wood replaced with di-noc. Does this car retain its original wood?
Yes, it’s the original wood.
A work of art. Always thought the 1946 through 1948 Chrysler styling and, particularly the dashboard, was one of the most attractive auto styles ever offered.
