For Sale at Auction: 1959 Chrysler 300 in Scottsdale, Arizona

Powered by its factory-correct powertrain, this 1959 Chrysler 300E convertible is equipped with two of the rarest options available across the letter-series cars: Air Sweep, the oil- and belt-driven rear air-ride system and Autopilot cruise control, making it one of six convertibles produced with Air Sweep and the only known example fitted with both options. After remaining in the same collection since 1977 and receiving a no-expense-spared frame-off restoration completed less than 100 miles ago, it underwent a comprehensive inspection and service, including a rebuild of the entire brake system, flushing of the fuel system, gas tank cleaning, replacement of all four wheel bearings, installation of four new wide whitewall tires, carburetor rebuild, coolant and radiator flush, hydraulic top system service, window lubrication and installation of a new battery. The car is restored in its original Chrysler Matador Red exterior finish with a Gary Goers tan leather interior and retains its factory-correct features, including swivel seats, remote outside mirrors, seven-button AM radio, Mirror-Matic auto-dimming rearview mirror and power steering, brakes and windows, reflecting nearly every available Chrysler option for 1959. Having been road-tested and reinspected after service, this 300E convertible is presented as a well-mannered and reliable example restored to exacting as-built specifications and offered to the public for the first time since 1977.
