Chrysler 300, America’s most powerful car.
This highly illustrated book presents the history of one of America’s greatest automobiles, the Chrysler 300. Every model’s specifications and role in Chrysler history is examined in detail. Includes sales and production records.
In 1951 Chrysler produced its first ever V8 engine – and what an engine it was! Technically advanced and featuring hemispherical combustion chambers, the new “Hemi-Head” engine produced much more power in relation to its capacity than any of its competitors could manage.
In 1955 the new Chrysler C-300 was launched. The new model combined muscle (300 horse-power), style (by Virgil Exner) and superb handling for what was a large car.
In its first year of production the new C-300 would win both major American stock car racing series: NASCAR and AAA. So began the legend and for each of the next ten years a new 300 model, identified by a different letter of the alphabet, would appear.
