The new Chrysler C-300 for 1955 was based on the New Yorker Hardtop Coupe and had the front sheet metal and grille from the Imperial. Power was from a 331 cubic-inch Hemi V-8 with dual four-barrel carburetors, a racing cam, and solid lifters. The 300 brake horsepower was the source of its name - the C-300.
This particular example is finished in white over a tan leather interior. It rides on wide whitewall tires and chrome wire wheels. There are power windows, power steering, power brakes, a radio, a heater, and a dash clock. This Hardtop Coupe was originally purchased in Missouri and later made its way to the dry climate of New Mexico, where it remained until 2004. It was then given a body-on restoration that included a rebuilt engine, carburetors, transmission, starter, generator, master cylinder, and brakes, as well as new paint, upholstery, and dual exhaust.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2015
