FW: [Chrysler300] AACA Zenith Awards for 2019





Here is the text accompanying one picture of the red car with its black top up:

 

When Chrysler debuted the C-300 in 1955, it was a sensation. Based on the luxurious New Yorker coupe, the 300 was the ultimate “Banker’s Hotrod,” equipped with Chrysler’s most potent engine at the time, a 331 cu. in., Hemi V-8 with two four-barrel carburetors, hot cam and solid lifters. Rated at 300 hp, from which it took its name, it was the most powerful American passenger car engine available at the time. In 1956, a new 300B model began the legendary “Letter Series,” which would continue for a decade. In 1957, a convertible was added to the 300C. Horsepower steadily increased along with the 300’s reputation as an extremely fast and stylish machine. An all-new 413 cu. in. engine with wedgeshaped combustion chambers and dual four-barrel carburetors powered the mighty 300E for 1959 and would be the standard 300 “Letter Series” engine for the next few years. The 300G would be the last Chrysler with fins, marking an end to an era. Nineteen sixty-one would also be the last year the “Letter Series” cars would be exclusive. The 300 line was expanded in 1962 to include less expensive, non-letter series 300 cars that included a four-door, thus diluting its exclusivity.
