1961 Chrysler 300G Convertible

It was a different era. Gas was cheap, the country was optimistic, and three-martini lunches were the norm for businessmen of a certain social status. The Chrysler 'letter series' cars capture the spirit of that era perfectly.

The 300D for 1958 was followed by 1959's 300E and 1960's 300F. For 1961, the 300G's front end was restyled with a new grille and stacked headlights mounted in a slanted orientation. It also received a revised bucket seat interior.

The 6.8 liter, 413 cubic-inch engine was capable of delivering an effortless 375 horsepower, through either a floor shift 3-speed manual transmission or the 3-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission.

Even though the letter series car continued after 1961, the 'G' is considered by many to be the greatest of them all. These special cars continue to appreciate due to their rarity, distinctive styling, and performance, and are quite simply, fun to drive. This prime example is one of only 337 300G convertibles produced.
