Original ... Elegant ... Powerful ... Luxurious ... Responsive ... Magnificent... This Stunning, ow Mileage, ow Production, are, lassic Chrysler 300C is all of this and so much more. 1,918 Hardtops were produced making this 300C a very Rare find. An All Original 300C in this condition is nothing short of Amazing! When these rare automobiles are found today, hey get serious restorations. This gem is an exception, ther than one repaint, he is all original with the motor, nterior, nd driveline all straight off the assembly line. She has been garage kept and well maintained and kept in a pristine condition. Believed to be correct, he odometer shows just 13,254 miles since delivery. This Chrysler comes from a MOPAR collection in Atlanta, A. She is a 300C with the HEMI engine which was purchased new by a Denver doctor as a fair weather weekend toy, ho due to the constraints of his profession, arely drove it. Upon his passing in the 60's, t was sold to a Texas collector, ho also drove it sparingly. As a result here is a very low mileage, arely used, urvivor, eparated from true survivor status by a single repaint which was performed before it made its way to the Atlanta collection about 10 years ago. Everything else, he engine, ransmission, nterior, even bushings, s original. Only normal replacement parts, uch as tires, oses, elts have been replaced, ut are as close to original as possible.She presents herself appropriately, ooking as if she has been displayed proudly in her admired collection her entire life, ith only a few trips to the finest of car shows and the occasional Sunday once around the block drive. This Elegant 300C is considered the most desirable of the Letter Series 300's with her Clean lines and Fresh styling - huge front grille and tail fins - plus a Fierce FirePower Hemi V8 which Rumbles to life with the push of a button. This Powerful Chrysler has her Original 392 ci. Hemi (Hemispherical Combustion Chamber) V8, 375 horsepower Engine equipped with original dual quad carburetors, olid valve lifters, pecial manifolds, full race camshaft, nd enlarged dual exhausts. The superb combination of innovative engineering and impressive performance of the Chrysler 300C makes her a legendary high- performance luxury machine. Her handling is Responsive and Sporty mostly due to her innovative famous twin parallel torsion bar suspension. Body The design is tasteful and clean featuring a large windshield, ront door vent windows, uad headlight face and a large, ne-piece egg crate chrome grille with an elegantly minimal chrome bumper running beneath it and two rearward brightwork spears punctuated by the circular 300C logo. The pronounced vestigial fins pick up just aft of the doors and beneath the beltline flowing into twin backup lights set above large vertical tail lamps. From the side, he 300C looks particularly good. Her long and low proportions are readily revealed from this angle. Also easily noticeable from the side, ou will see a forward tilt to her front end that is mirrored by a rearward tilt to her fins creating a sleek and balanced overall appearance. The futuristic 300C design also marked the debut of a Jet Age tailfin styling trend that would continue on for years. Wind-tunnel tests showed the fins on the 300C to be functional at higher speeds, ut it was their style that caused the public to clamor for them. ENGINE This 1957 300C packs a 392-cu.in. version of the race-proven Hemi engine with a standard 375hp producing a massive 420- lbs.ft. of torque at 4,000 RPM. Seemingly minor innovations, uch as the SilentFlite cooling fan, ring additional horsepower gains to the Hemi. TRANSMISSION The 1957 model year marked the appearance of the three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission, hich would become a mainstay of the Chrysler-Dodge-Plymouth lineup for many years to come. DIFFERENTIAL CHASSIS One of the main benefits of the Chrysler torsion-bar front suspension is the reduction in front-end drive under heavy braking. Another is a suspension that is stout enough for flat cornering, ut still supple for smooth around-town maneuvering without the rigid ride common in the 50's. BRAKES WHEELS & TIRES INTERIOR HISTORY A big automobile that sat low to the ground, as full of comfort and luxury while having excellent power and handing. The 300 'Letter Series' Started in 1955 with the C300 (which stood for Chrysler 300ci) as the 'A' suffix. The series lasted through 1965 with 'L' ('I' was omitted) and was labeled as a precursor of the muscle car, hough some considered them to be the first muscle cars. Even with eleven years of production, ess than 17,000 were produced. From 1955 through 1957 the 300's were the fastest American cars. Both of the the C300 and 300B had won the NASCAR Grand National Stock Car Championships as well as the Women's National Speed Trial Championships in both 1955 and 1956. So it was no surprise when the '57 Chrysler 300-C beat the unofficial stock car record at the Chelsea Proving Grounds with an average speed of 145.7 mph.It also won the "Flying Mile" at Daytona with a top speed of 134 mph utilizing the 392 cu.in. 375 hp Hemi. A top speed of 150mph could be reached by the 300C. The 300's also dominated the sands of Daytona Beach, lorida where they won the stock production class and took home the Tom McCahill trophy. Tom McCahill, echanix Illustrated's legendary automotive journalist, as convinced of the 300C's prowess. He called the 1957 300C "the most hairy-chested, ire-eating land bomb ever conceived in Detroit," adding that the car was "motorized dynamite." The 1957 Chrysler 300C represents the pinnacle of the first generation of Chrysler Hemi engines. Her understated "forward look" design features what many automobile aficionados consider to be the best use of fins - a clean, ell- proportioned design, ree of the garish detailing that plagued so many of its contemporaries. Her design from the torsion bars and frame right up to the top of the car was all new for '57. Chrysler engineering was generally thought to be excellent and ahead of its time and certainly this was the case for the Torqueflite automatics, he first modern Simpson geartrain three speed automatic ever introduced. Her automatic transmission requires no effort on the driver's part.The 300 did get America moving on the fast track to the horsepower and performance revolution, nd looked good while doing it.
