Re: [Chrysler300] 1955: 300 or C300?

I agree with Marshall.  For sales/public purposes, just 300 was more  than 
adequate to define the car.  Technical/in house usage apparently  required a 
few more letters and numbers to define its relationships, eg,  C-68-300 
clearly related it to the New Yorker.  I like Marshall's theory of  calling it 
a C300 more frequently in later times to ensure it was thought  of as a 
LETTER CAR and would not be confused with the non-letter  series.

Hi Andy  and others interested,

Here's my take on the identification of the  '55's.  They were marketed as 
simply 300 since that was the name given to  the sub-model much as Windsor 
and New Yorker were named sub-models of Chrysler  cars.  For more precise 
identification mostly in technical matters each  of the sub-models was given 
another identifier.  For '55 the Windsor is  known as C-67, New Yorker as 
C-68, Imperial as 
C-69, Crown Imperial as  C-70, and then there is the 300  as C-300 and in 
some cases as C-68-300  which maybe suggests it to be a sub-category of the 
New Yorker.

Until  the '56 was produced and named 300B there was little reason to call 
a  '55  c-300, but as the series progressed, especially in the 60's when the 
 sport 300 became a reality, it seemed important to folks during 
conversations  to be certain there was an understanding that the '55 was a member of 
the  lettered series of 300's.

I feel it is absolutely correct to call it by  either identifier

I'm interested in seeing how others perceive this  "name game".
