Vehicle Description
1955 was a HUGE year for Chrysler as they had manufactured the
first 300H/P vehicle in America. It was debated to be the first
high-performance automobile available to the public. Chrysler
wanted to take a different approach and out-perform other car
companies of the time. One of the ways in which they did this, was
by changing Chryslers engine. They used a 331.1 Cubic Inch Hemi V8
engine (used in successful early 50s race cars) with Two Four
Barrel Carburetors, a Competition Cam Shift, and last but certainly
not least Solid Valve Lifters. Chrysler wanted to create an
unyielding and powerful motor, and they succeeded. This engine
out-performed the Corvettes, Thunderbirds, and Cadillacs V8
engines. Wow! This particular 1955 Chrysler C-300 is as nice as
they come. The paint colors for this 1950 Chrysler 300 were very
simple. They only came in the colors red, white, and black, and
this particular model is White with a Naugahyde Tan interior. These
vehicles made history in 1955 winning their first NASCAR Grand
National Race. They sold 1,725 models that year, and this vintage
piece of history could be yours for $79,888!
