The 1962 Chrysler 300 represents a massive turning point for one of
America's most iconic nameplates. Dubbed "The Beautiful Brute",
this model year marked the split of the 300 lineup into two
distinct categories: the ultra-exclusive, high-performance 300H
"Letter Series" and the more affordable, high-volume 300 "Sport
Series".The 1962 model dropped the prominent, sharp tail fins of
the late 1950s in favor of a sleek, "jet-age" profile. Key features
included:- The "Jukebox" Dash: A highly stylized, AstraDome
dashboard utilizing advanced, futuristic electroluminescent
lighting.- Push-Button Transmission: The three-speed TorqueFlite
automatic transmission was operated via a famous array of
mechanical buttons located directly on the dashboard.- Luxury
Amenities: Premium options included functional leather bucket
seats, a full-length center console, a driver's power seat, and
power windows.Purchased from Garren Auto Sales, this car has been a
part of the Duncan Imports collection since 2013. The car has 50%
of its original paint and the interior is the original red leather
bucket seats. The engine is the optional 413 single 4 barrel.
