This 1948 Chrysler Town & Country convertible was refurbished in the mid-2010s and was acquired by the selling dealer in early 2026 from the estate of the previous owner. Powered by a 323.5ci Spitfire inline-eight paired with a Fluid Drive semi-automatic transmission, the vehicle is finished in green with ash-framed mahogany exterior paneling over maroon and beige upholstery. Equipment includes a power-operated tan soft top, wheel covers, whitewall tires, and spotlights. This Town & Country is now offered with a Minnesota title in the selling dealership’s name.
The convertible bodywork sits on a New Yorker chassis with a 127.5″ wheelbase and was finished from the factory in Heather Green (4) with ash-framed mahogany exterior paneling. Exterior equipment includes a chrome eggcrate grille, trim, and bumpers as well as a hood ornament, a cowl vent, twin curved-stem side mirrors, dual A-pillar spotlights, and Fluid Drive badging. Imperfections to the wood and the paint are pictured in the gallery below.
The power-operated tan soft top has been replaced.
Steel 15″ wheels feature Chrysler-branded bright covers and are mounted with Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires measuring 8.20–15. The car was factory equipped with an independent front suspension with coil springs as well as a live rear axle with semi-elliptical leaf springs. Braking is handled by front and rear drums; the seller tells us that the brakes and the wheel cylinders recently were serviced.
The cabin features front and rear bench seats trimmed in maroon upholstery with beige cloth inserts along with color-coordinated door panels. Interior amenities include split and folding front seatbacks, a locking glovebox, an electric clock, a Comfort Master heater, courtesy lighting, and sun visors. The seller notes that the AM radio is inoperative, the seats exhibit wear, and the trunk struts are weak.
The three-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and frames a 110-mph speedometer along with gauges for coolant temperature, amperage, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 56k miles, approximately 50 of which were added by the selling dealer.
The 323.5ci Spitfire inline-eight features five main bearings and a single downdraft carburetor for a factory rating of 135 horsepower.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a column-shifted Fluid Drive semi-automatic transmission.
The car’s chassis number is 7405168, whereas the Minnesota title cites as the VIN the engine number C3947818. Both sequences are shown above.
The Minnesota title lists “N/REQD” in the Odometer field.
