Just a thought... Perhaps the manner in which they were marketed. The 300s were positioned as personal power and luxury vehicles to men of financial means. Goats, mustangs and the like were targeted toward a younger and less affluent market of both men and women. -----Original Message----- From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Charles Heinitz Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2005 11:21 PM To: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [Chrysler300] Muscle cars While watching a car show yesterday, I was wondering why they always ignore the letter car 300's. Why do they say the muscle era started with the 64 pontiac GTO ? To me it started with the 1955 C300. I have had lots of Chryslers, starting with the first Hemi 1951 Saratoga, to a 1953 NY HT, and a 55 Desoto fire dome, 1957 Desoto Adventurer and even a 57 300C I bought new in that year. I had numerious drag races with all those cars and never lost one, including the 51 Saratoga. Will some one explain to me why these people think the muccle era began with the 64 GTO?
