Chrysler 300C 392 Hemi

Chrysler's 300 was America's first genuine high-performance luxury car. The original C-300 of 1955 packed a 331 cu in Hemi making 300 hp — hence the name — into a full-size two-door, and each subsequent year got the next letter of the alphabet, running through to the 300L of 1965. The 300C of 1957 is the high point: Virgil Exner's Forward Look styling gave it soaring tailfins, a compound-curve windshield and torsion-bar front suspension that made it handle far better than anything its size had a right to. The later non-letter cars of the mid and late sixties kept the badge, the big-block power and the long, low proportions, and represent tremendous value for the presence they carry.Walter Chrysler founded his company in 1925 with an emphasis on engineering value. Chrysler repeatedly introduced advanced engines, chassis systems and aerodynamic ideas, while its Hemi V8s and “letter series” cars gave the corporation a lasting high-performance identity.This example is finished in Black over Beige, fitted with an automatic gearbox, showing 3626 mi on the odometer (a displayed reading, not a guarantee of total distance).The dealer's own note on this car: 1 of 474 convertibles produced.Stock number PC1628, VIN/chassis 3N573107.
