The revival of a classic vehicle's name to be used on a new vehicle
model may bring only one of two things: satisfaction or disappointment.
Satisfaction arises when the new model equals or surpasses the
luxuriousness and performance of the classic vehicle. But if the
opposite is true and the new vehicle rates poorly against the older
vehicle, disappointment should be expected. As for the new Chrysler
300, it brought more satisfaction than disappointment for the lovers of
the classic Chrysler 300 vehicles.
The Chrysler 300 name first surfaced in 1955, named by
Chrysler for a limited edition of high performance luxury sedans. The
"300" in the name of the sedan stands for the power outputted by the
vehicle's engine, which was initially rated at 300 hp. Actually, the
car was the first American production car to top 300 horsepower and was
also the car that reawakened the American vehicle buyers' interest in
performance vehicles. A coupe version of the vehicle was also
available, and was descriptively named as the Chrysler 300C, with the
"C" standing for coupe.
In succeeding years until 1965, limited numbers of the
Chrysler 300 were continuously manufactured, with each year model
featuring an improvement in performance and luxuriousness and minor
changes in style. The year models were also named in letter series,
beginning with the Chrysler 300B in 1956 until the Chrysler 300L in
1965, which was also the last Chrysler 300 letter series car
manufactured. From 1962 until about 1971, Chrysler also manufactured at
large plain Chrysler 300 cars, although the said vehicles were not as
luxurious and as loved as the limited edition Chrysler 300 vehicles.
In 1998, Chrysler re-introduced the Chrysler 300 name when
they released the Chrysler 300M for the 1999 model year. While the
vehicle was entirely different compared to the classic Chrysler 300,
Chrysler nonetheless continued to name it as part of the Chrysler 300
letter series by suffixing it with the letter M. Like the classic
Chrysler 300's, the new breed of Chrysler 300 vehicles also attracted a
lot of attention. In fact, the vehicle was Motor Trend's Car of the
Year for 1999, a feat further strengthened when the redesigned 2005
model of the vehicle was also bestowed the same title.
If there is one thing that unites the classic and the new
Chrysler 300, it is the parts they are equipped with. Chrysler 300
parts, both for the classic and the recent models, are of premium
quality, allowing these cars to perform at their best at all times.
