1946 Chrysler Town and Country WOODY Convertible Resto Mod 48K miles BARN FIND

1946 Chrysler Town & Country Additional Info:

This Town and Country had a cosmetic restoration sometime in the 90's. It was driven by the elderly gentleman up to about 5 years ago the daughter thought. It was one of his favorite cars and he regularly drove this car and about 15 others. Still has gravel dust from the long driveway to the building it was stored in. Is a survivor car in most ways. Clean original with normal surface rust on frame undercarriage. Underside has original undercoating as seen in pics. Body panels are very nice and rust free. This was owned by collectors its entire life and is reason for low miles. Engine, trans and rear look to be untouched original. Runs great and trans pulls, but master cyl. is not holding pressure so has been lot driven only. New 6 volt battery. Small, slow gas tank leak. Was going to get this driving but figured it would end up with modern drivetrain. Interior near mint, and top is nice. Chrome is clean driver quality. Wood is in excellent original condition with original varnish on wood. Car was repainted it the 90's because it was faded. Wood and woodgrain was left original. (no rot or damage). Doors close by themselves when let go with a small push. Very solid original that will need only a few weeks to be a driver. Came from an estate sale with over 100 cars stored in a clean old brick manufacturing building. (See last pic). This will be a great driver that is clean enough for shows but not over restored so one can't drive it. If shipped, it will be considered non op. and will need to be winched on to trailer. I will make sure it gets loaded safely and tied down correctly. I will also take lots of pics of it loaded to ensure no damage shows up that the driver might claim to have been there. Please ask as many questions as you would like. I want the new owner to be happy with it. Thanks for looking. Jeff
