[Chrysler300] First Factory Dual Quads

["Wayne Graefen" <wgraefen@xxxxxxx>]

My angle of interest on this has been more about the '53 New Yorker Pan Am I call 'Adam' being a forerunner of the fantastic dual quad equipped Chrysler 300 Letter Cars.  Didn't study what others were doing until now.

Since the '55 C300 didn't arrive until January it is probable that popular availability of the '55 Cadillac Eldorado and '55 Packard Caribbean both were on the market first.  Does anyone know introduction dates for those special models?


The '55 Eldo and Carib both had dual quad Rochesters for their first time.  '56 Chevs offered dual quads.  '56 Pontiacs had a NASCAR package of 3x2.   The '57 Olds J-2 package was their first 3x2.  Studebaker's first dual quads were the '63 Avanti R-3 and R-4 options.   I know of no prototypes or experimental cars from any company that were publicly sold with dual quads earlier from any other company. 

That still leaves Adam as the first factory dual quad car sold to the public.
