ALL Original 1957 Chrysler 300C Convertible

The Chrysler 300 "letter series" are highperformance personal luxury cars that were built by Chrysler in the U.S. from 1955 to 1965 and were a submodel from the Chrysler New Yorker. At its introduction, it was advertised as "America's Most Powerful Car".

The 1957 model year 300C was corporately shared with an all new appearance for Chrysler products called the "Forward Look" and featuring a "yawning" wide trapezoidshaped front grille which was unique to the 300C, "VistaDome" windshield, dual headlights, and gradually rising tailfins starting from the doors similar to Chryslerbranded products. The wheel diameter changed from 15 in (381 mm) to 14 in (356 mm) while continuing to use drum brakes for all wheels, and to keep the front brakes cool a cooling duct was installed with the air intake located just below the headlights that fed air directly to the front brakes. The exterior color list was expanded to offer Jet Black, Parade Green metallic, Copper Brown metallic, Gauguin Red and Cloud White while the interior was tan leather standard and optional interior choices were available from the New Yorker list of which the 300 was based.

The Hemi engine was upgraded to 392 cu in (6.4 L) with 375 hp (280 kW), or as a limited edition 390 hp (290 kW) version (18 built). The 392 CID engine was exclusive to the 300, New Yorker and Imperials, while the dual four barrel carburetors was standard on the 300C and continued with an improved air induction system that gave each carburetor its own air cleaner to improve efficiency. A convertible model was available for the first time and was listed at US$5,359 ($51,704 in 2021 dollars) while the twodoor hardtop was listed at US$4,929 ($47,556 in 2021 dollars). In comparison, a 1957 Imperial Crown Convertible was listed at US$5,598 ($51,276 in 2021 dollars). GM's Pontiac Division introduced the Pontiac Bonneville as a convertible only, offering fuel injection and a similar price tag but offered lower luxury content and a reduced price for 1958, and Mercury offered the Mercury Turnpike Cruiser for 1957 with the optional 430 cu in (7.0 L) Super Marauder V8.

The car introduced red, white, and blue '300C' circular medallions on the sides, hood, trunk, and interior and was the first model to use the color scheme. A total of 1,918 coupes and 484 convertibles were built.
