Re: [Chrysler300] when did limited slip differentials begin

Owen is correct.  Per page F-21 of the dealer album description  updated on 
January 3, 1957, the Optional Chassis and Engine package included  High 
-speed camshaft, 10:1 compression ratio, limited slip differential, 2 1/2"  low 
back pressure exhaust system, heavy duty clutch and drive shaft, manual  
transmission, and manual steering.  This package is not recommended for  the 
average 300C customer because of poor low end performance and rough  idle.

It was part of the optional "chassis package" on the '57 300C but it was  
not
named Suregrip until 1958.

I have heard rumors that some of  Kiekhaefer race 300B's had limited  slips
though......

A friend just  asked if I knew when limited slip differentials started on 
Mopars. Anyone  have any knowledge??

I'm thinking later 50's but no way  certain.
