Summary:
Used 1950 Chrysler Town & Country
Location:
Orange, CT
Description:
First introduced in 1938 as the 'New York Special', the stylish New Yorker was based on Chrysler's up-market Imperial and used the latter's sidevalve straight-eight engine. In Chrysler nomenclature 'New Yorker' signified luxury, these models being distinguished by high quality interior trim and an occasionally adventurous choice of upholstery materials including Scottish tartan (on the New Yorker Highlander). Production of the New Yorker began in January of 1946 and was Chrysler's top-of-the-range model. It was offered in a variety of body styles including coupes, sedans, and convertibles - including the wood-clad Town & Country. The New Yorker was reasonably priced, beginning at $1,825 for the three-passenger coupe up to $2,725 for the Town & Country convertible coupe. Equipped with an independent front suspension and a solid axle in the rear. Hydraulic drums provided the stopping power and the 323.5 cubic-inch L-head straight-eight providing the 'going' power. The engine offered 135 horsepower and ample torque to move the 4,100 pound New Yorker Convertible.Based on the New Yorker chassis, the wood clad Town and Country was by far the most popular of all the specialty wood trimmed cars of the 1940’s. By the end of the decade sales were dropping off so Chrysler decided to offer its wood clad Town and Country only as a hardtop for 1950. While the body panels were now metal and painted body color, they were still trimmed out with varnished wood. Only 700 coupes were built so it is a rare sighting to see one today. Offered here is a wonderful 1950 Town and Country hardtop that has been treated to a very nice restoration. Finished in its original bronze color with brown leather and cloth interior, this car is stunning. Mechanically it is well sorted with a very smooth running engine and the fluid drive transmission shifting properly. The wood components on the outside of the car have been beautifully refinished and are original to the car, they were never replaced and in beautiful condition., Overall this car is beautiful and it is ready to be driven, shown and enjoyed.
