Re: [Chrysler300] '62 Chrysler 300 4-door

Mark and All:
That was my first reaction as well, so I consulted my copy of Dick  
Langworth's book, Chrysler and Imperial.  (Published in 1976)  Sure  enough---and 
to my surprise---there was the production information on a  1962 Chrysler 300 
four door SEDAN!  Doing a bit more investigation, I  consulted my copies of 
the 1962 "S" Series Model Charts.  They, also,  showed a four door sedan, 
BUT built in the Windsor Canada assembly plant,  ONLY.  This brought back dim 
memories of a Canadian only 1964 300 4 door  sedan.  Sure enough, my "V" 
Series Model Chart showed that one as  well---Canada only.  Langworth's book 
agrees.   So, I think the  answer is the 300 "Sport" 4 door sedan was 
manufactured in Canada only for the  Canadian market.  If one consults the parts 
book and the service manual,  there is certainly no mention of it.  Also, the 
Sales Folder for the 300H  mentions just the 3 models of the sport 
series----definitely no  sedan.   
Any of our Canadian members care to comment?
300ly, Gil Cunningham
A beautiful cool morning in Tallahassee, sans TS Debbie!

That  is something new to me. I have never seen a 62 300 4-door sedan. New 
Yorker  sedans and Newport sedans, yes, but not a 300 sedan. Interesting!

http://www.chrysler300site.com/cgibin/history.cgi?1962   
History Of the Chrysler Three Hundred Series -  1962
Nineteen sixty-two saw not only the continued production of the  "Letter
eries" with the 300H, in two door hardtop and convertible styles,  but also
he introduction of an entry level three hundred model produced in  two door
ard top, convertible and, new for '62, both four-door hard top and  a four
oor sedan body styles. 
It seems that most manufacturers cannot  resist the temptation to hang
restigious model names on mundane versions  after a few years.  This is
alled marketing and generally produces  short-term results, depending on the
trength of the brand.  Strong  brands/model names tend to live on as witness
00's, Chargers, Challengers,  Rams, Impalas and Mustangs.  The concept can
e pushed too far, such as  was the case with the latter-day GTO.

There is a burgundy '62  Chrysler 300 4-door with black interior for sale in
lymouth, Wisconsin,  $3900 OBO. The body is average, the dash pad is badly
racked and I have no  idea if it runs. I can check the car out and take
ictures if anyone is  interested but please talk to the owner first. Two
hone numbers were  listed: 262-353-2336 and 920-467-1777.
ps: I didn't know there was such a  thing as a 300 4-door. The car looks
riginal except for the color.
