Chrysler still recovering from the error of downsizing their products offered four models Chrysler models this year starting with the Newport, then the M 300, the NEw Yorker and at the top the 300K. The 300K was a bona fide high performance luxury car available only in hardtop coupe or convertible coupe form. The hardtop coupe like this one had only 3,022 units made and the convertible only had a paltry 625 copies. Chrysler relaunches it's hemispherical combustion chamber V8, now as a 426 cube monster for racing purposes only. This Chrysler has under the hood that V8, 413 cube engine with 360 - 390 horsepower. The 300K convertible had a base price of $ 4,522 while the hardtop had a base price of $ 4,056. There wer twenty color choices this year and this Chrysler is finished in Roman Dark Red. Features on this original survivor include that giant V8 engine, the trapezoid shaped grille, factory wheel covers, a well laid out dash, bucket seats with console, 300K badges, stainless bow strips on the headliner, and a chrome laden rear valance. A fine example of a very rare Chrysler and thanks for viewing.
