The 1955 Chrysler C-300 was a stunning automobile release back in the day, but the factory did not offer it in convertible format that first year. This car continues the legacy established by the hardtop release, riding on the same New Yorker-based platform all C-300s were based around. Considered by many as the first production “muscle car,” the C-300 proved to be what the public wanted: a customized luxury car with performance underpinnings. Executed with design stylings by Virgil Exner, this automobile features refined European-influenced body lines, a grille based around the paired openings found only on the Imperial, and chromed fin-shaped tail lamp housings. Comparisons to even the legendary prewar Duesenbergs have been made, as this was the highest-ever horsepower production car release for that era.
