History of Chrysler 300 letter series
The Chrysler 300 “letter series” were high-performance luxury cars built in very limited numbers by the Chrysler Corporation in the United States between 1955 and 1965. Each year’s model used a new letter of the alphabet as a suffix (skipping “i”), reaching 300L by 1965, after which the model was dropped.
The 300 “letter series” cars were the vehicles that really rekindled interest in performance among major American manufacturers after World War II, and thus can be considered the muscle car’s ancestors, though much more expensive and exclusive.
The 1961 300G saw another restyle. The grille, formerly wider at the bottom than the top, was inverted; the quad headlights, formerly side-by-side, were arranged in an angled fashion, inward at the bottom, in a manner reminiscent of 1958 to 1960 Lincolns. Small parking lamps below the headlights were likewise slanted and V-shaped, and the front bumper was canted up at each end, scoop-like. At the rear, the taillights were moved from the fins to the tail below them, and the fins were made sharper-pointed.
Mechanically, the cross-ram “short ram” and “long ram” engines remained the same, although the expensive French manual transmission was dropped, replaced by a more reliable but still expensive Chrysler manual transmission referred to as ‘option code 281′, cars fitted with this transmission are among the rarest and desirable of all the letter series cars with only 14 built and an estimated five known currently.
1961 this Chrysler 300G. The 300G was powered by the 413 cu.in Golden Lion Wedge Head V-8.
This dashing convertible was one of the last designs by styling chief Virgil Exner who brought the `Forward Look’ to Chrysler products several years earlier. The 413 cu.in Wedge-Head V-8 boasted 375 HP making it capable of exceptional performance.
At a base price of $5,841, the 300-G convertibles were among the most expensive American cars but gave their occupants 4-place bucket seat travel in rarefied elegance with very high performance. Weighing in at 4,260 pounds the 300-G equipped with the standard Torque Flight automatic transmission and a 3.31 rear end ratio could race from zero to sixty in a mere 8.4 seconds. The quarter-mile time was just 16.2 seconds.
As the 1960s began, the styling became less flamboyant though still retaining the performance and design cues that had made it popular. 1961 300G was equipped with tail fins and eye-catching tilted headlights. Inside they were elegantly appointed and filled with luxurious amenities. Underneath the hood was a potent power plant that carried these large luxurious vehicles with the power to spare.
The 300G represented the pinnacle of luxury, style, and performance for Chrysler Corporation in 1961. It was the second and last year for the cross-ram induction set up to be included as standard equipment. The cross-ram setup maximized power and torque resulting in faster acceleration. As noted above it had a zero-to-sixty time of just 8.4 seconds which is an incredible feat for a vehicle of this weight and size.
