How the Chrysler 300 Has Evolved

Making its debut in 1955, the Chrysler 300 was designed specifically to hold the newly popular Hemi V8 engine that was a mere four years old but already beginning to dominate the world of drag racing. A blend of a Chrysler New Yorker, Imperial, and Windsor, the 300 emerged with its own personality as the high-performance version of the luxury Imperial. It was named for its horsepower output: 300. The first generation of 1955-1956 saw the 300 overpowering Ford's and Chevy's in NASCAR, with the likes of the Flock brothers and Lee Petty behind the wheel. The main difference in the 1955 and 1956 models was the addition of a "B" to the 300, making it the 300-B.

The 300-C was the second generation that began in 1957, running through 1959. Still thought to be the most desirable of all the 300s, the 1957 personified sex appeal as no other American car had done prior. The Hemi was now a 392 c.i. that output either 375 or 390 horsepower and was paired with the TorqueFlite push-button automatic transmission, although the 390-horsepower version most often came with a 3-speed manual tranny. Another first for the '57 300-C was the convertible top. In 1959, the 300-E was powered by the new 413-c.i. Wedge head V8 that blasted out 380 horsepower.

The next two or three generations saw the 300 maintain its class and power, but by 1979, the eighth generation, Chrysler had downgraded it so much that it died a natural death and wasn't revived for 20 years. Now in its 10th generation, the 300 is regaining some of its former glory.
