[Chrysler300] Muscle car origins

[JettLarry@xxxxxxx]

It feels good to think that our beloved brutes were the beginnings of the  
concepts of big engines in lesser weight cars but truth be told, the 300 was  
really a big engine in a big car.  Probably the first big engine in a  lesser 
car was the 1938 
Buick Century whereby GM took the Roadmaster engine  and put it in the 
smaller body so they could get a 100 mph car, thereby calling  it a "Century".  This 
was followed up in '49 by putting the 98 engine in  the lighter 88.  We have 
sufficient claim on greatness without having to  own the muscle car 
beginnings.  We can let Pontiac feel good for a brief  period.  They might join 
Oldsmobile in the graveyard but Chrysler will be  here forever!!
