Picked Up My 1948 Chrysler T&C Convert Today

[55 Fargo]

Hi all, now I didn't say it was a real car, picked up my 48 Chrysler T&C Rag Top at the post office, it's a vintage Avon Cologne.

It was sent to me as a gift, by Frankie from Omaha, he and his thoughtful Wife found it for me at a swap meet in there area.

So thank you vey much for the gift Frankie, it arrived safely to Manitoba Canada...........Fred

Those are neat looking......I've had one for quite a few years now.

Enjoy looking at it sitting on my shelf. Always thought those were

cool cars.

At last year's WPC meet in Chicago I think there were around 17 T&C's there. It was WAAAYYYY COOL!!!!! Here's a few pics from that week.

Merle I went to their meet held here in maybe 04. Same thing then. They sure are neat to see. If you want a similar car to work on check out the p15 woodie thats on ebay. Might take you a little while longer to fix then your truck did.

Merle,

There's at least one T&C Chrysler convertible near us. Think the guy is from Kenosha. Never met him but have seen his car. He use to attend the Waukesha car show and swap meet put on in May by Madison Classics a lot of times.

WOW!! Looks like the termites didn't leave much. Looks like a good candidate for your front clip. Other than that it looks like scrap to me.

I saw a 40 chebby woody on craigslist that was all there but needed to be restored. $75,000 Don't remember where,saw it yesterday.

[Young Ed]

Merle I bet people fix woodies like that.

[RobertKB]

Ed, you could buy that for the front clip and then sell the woodie only parts for more than you paid for the car. I say go for it!

[Young Ed]

Thats a pretty decent drive for me. Maybe Don C will deliver it for me. I think its close to him.

[Young Ed]

Back a few years ago there was a junkyard I stumbled across on the net with a T&C convert in the same shape as that woodie wagon. They wanted 15K for it!

[RobertKB]

What a gorgeous bunch of Chrysler woodies. I've always liked the four door sedans for some reason. Rockwood, maybe you should do the wood trim treatment on your coupe!

[BobT-47P15]

Hey, it's in or near Murfreesboro.......Don's home town.

He could just drive it on home......stop at Home Depot for a few

pieces of 2-by's and plywood.....have that puppy back on the road

in no time. :D

Has three bumper guards, the hard to find windshield wiper bases, and

a gooseneck (swan) mirror. Even has a motor, based on the fact I

see an air cleaner.

[BobT-47P15]

Here's an aftermarket wood add-on for a Chevy.....possibly dealer

installed as a kit thing.

Then, there's "Plywood".

[BobT-47P15]

If you were real patient and inclined, you could get some balsa wood

and make a woody out of this P15 model.

[Norm's Coupe]

I belileve this is his. (on the right)

Merle,

That's not the one. Actually, I've never seen that one around. Looks like he has 4 old cars registered though. Has a C on it indicating it's his 4th. I have two sets of plates. One from the 70 Chevy I had with no letters, and the plates on my coupe which has an A, then the same number. That's because I had both of them at the same time. They just keep adding letters to the end of the numbers for each car you have.

Anyway, the T&C I was talking about is a convertible and it's maroon or red. Had the plaid seat covers in it. I think I have a picture of it, but don't know where it's buried. Was a real nice car.

[Norm's Coupe]

We have a P15 4 door woody owner on the forum, or at least we use to. Remember Plywoody. Think he lived in either Washington or Oregon.

Myself, I like the all steel bodied cars. Woody's are ok to look at but not my cup of tea, so wouldn't want to add wood to my coupe.

[Merle Coggins]

Come to think of it Norm, that guy might be here in Milwaukee. I do remember that he was from the area.

[1947PLEVY]

Yep:

Don knows where he lives. He is the guy I bought my 47 from in the Boro. He does alot of custom work on cars also. Does a real good job. A very talented man and knowledgable about old rods...

????? I do???? Who???

[Frank Elder]

Your welcome Fred! I'll bet it was in better shape than you expected. I smelled that kind of cologne when I was a child on my grandfather, sure were some of the best days of my life.

[Dodgeb4ya]

I like the T&C`s too. Here is my 1948. Bought it in 1978 for $8000.00!

[BobT-47P15]

I think he's talking about Charlie Olson, who owns "Plywood", the

phantom woody fourdoor P15.

I think he's now in Florida perhaps. Or in Phoenix area.

That's the guy. He spends part of his time in both places.
