In this part we are picking up with Chrysler.
For 1948 Chrysler had the Town and Country (yes…even way back then) model with wood panels, it even came in a woody-vert (vert short for convertible).
It also came in a coupe/sedan.
Love the roof rack!!!
The wooden frame was white ash (adding structural rigidity to the doors and deck lid), fitted with interlocking miters. Mahogany veneer plywood filled the spaces within the frames.
Now that is craftsmanship!!!!
The engine was the Spitfire Straight Eight with 323.5 cubic-inch displacement and 135 horsepower coupled to a fluid drive transmission.
135 HP
The convertible was the most favored of the Town and Country line with 8,368 sold. In 1948, the price tag showed $3,395.
Thanks for reading.
