In this episode I provide the history of the Chrysler 300, starting back in 1955 with the C-300, followed by the 300B-300L, then a rebirth in 1998 with the 300M, and finally back to its classic luxury looks with the 300 and 300C in 2005. Although the original 300s were a homologation for stock car racing, they evolved more into luxury cars in the 60s, as well as the 1998 300M which could only be had with a V6. The new 300C in 2005 brought back V8 hemi power, and a redesign in 2011 kept the basic gangster look, but with the sedan market fading, and Chrysler wanting to emphasize luxury in the brand, the 300 faded into obscurity and finally cancellation by 2023.
