Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville proudly presents this beautiful
1957 Chrysler 300. The 300 line was introduced in 1955 to give
Chrysler a suitable platform for stock car competition and, given
free rein to win at all costs, its engineers wasted no time netting
back-to-back NASCAR championships. In 1957, hell-bent on elevating
Chrysler to America's premier automotive brand, those same
engineers took home top honors at Daytona's world famous Flying
Mile. And by the time this long, low and sleek land rocket hit the
streets it had officially broken America's stock car speed record,
become one of the fastest production vehicles ever sold, and gained
the nickname 'Motorized Dynamite'. Today these highly coveted
classics are considered a significant step in the development of
what we now affectionately call muscle cars, and they've long been
the premier year for Chrysler letter car collectors. With this
car's 392 cubic inch Firepower V8 Chrysler created a big block
legend that's still highly regarded as a revolutionary blend of
performance and luxury. Not only does this hot Hemi mill produce
375 horsepower and twist stout 9.25 to 1 compression into 420
lb./ft. of torque. Induction is handled by a pair of gold air
cleaners that are piped directly into two high performance Carter
4-barrel carburetors. Hop inside this handsome Chrysler and you'll
find a spacious and airy driving environment which has enough room
to haul the whole family in comfort and style. This professionally
restored 300C Convertible represents a huge milestone in the
development of Chrysler Corporation as a powerhouse manufacturer.
After tearing up the beaches in Daytona and shattering speed
records at the firm's own Chelsea Proving Grounds, it
single-handedly spawned the world-class performance image
Chrysler's eponymous brand enjoyed well into the '70s. If you're a
discerning gearhead who likes top-notch classics that draw crowds
wherever they go, this high performance luxury machine will be a
significant addition to your collection! Options for this 1957
Chrysler 300 include; AM Radio, Power brakes, Power steering, Power
Seats Power Windows, Vinyl Interior, White Wall Bias Ply tires with
Wire Wheels. Don't miss out on this rare 1994 Ford Mustang Cobra
convertible Indy Pace Car. This 1957 Chrysler 300 can be seen
