The 300 series Chrysler was a high-performance series intended to deflect attention from imported European sports cars and also from the Chevy Corvette and Ford Thunderbird. A total of 1,102 300B units were produced and sold for $4,242.
The 300 two-door hardtops dominated NASCAR Grand National racing with 22 wins and were America's fastest and highest-powered car in 1956. A 300B set a new speed record of 139.9 mph for passenger cars at Daytona Beach. The car is powered by an overhead-valve 354 cu. in. V8 engine developing 340 hp coupled to a 3-speed automatic transmission with push button drive controls on the left side of the dashboard.
