GLM's '68 Chrysler 300

Great review as always John. I have the model coming but don't yet know what the tariff amount will be.

@bob-jackman, thanks. If you ordered from a dealer in the States, you will not have to pay any extra. If it comes from overseas, all bets are off. Come back and let us know.

@jkuvakas I will.

Great looking Chryslers by Stamp; I agree that all the detail is there AND it looks right!   😎 😎 😎     I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I didn't know Chrysler produced 4-door 300s in the 1960's.    😯 😮 😯 

A great review John. This is a beautiful model, and great colors were chosen by GLM. I hope that someday Dave Gilbert's special colors will be issued. 

Chrysler started saturating the 300 series with additional body styles in 1962. They split the line into the base series and letter cars. The 300 lost its prestige when that move was made. I suppose it was Chrysler's way to get more dollars from the brand as the letter cars were never big sellers, they had a mystique then and still do today if it was a letter car anyway. 

I'd love to see GLM/Stamp issue more 300 models, I'd be open to all years being done or redone (they've done 1957) The '55-'61 have been issued by a couple of manufacturers already, so if they started with the '62 through '65, I'd be in heaven. I'm from the group that really love the style of '63 & '64 Chryslers. If you look at sales of the Letter Series cars, '64 & '65 were the bestselling, with the '57 coming in 3rd. The slowest selling year was '63. The '57, '60, '62, & '63 are my favorite years.

Excellent review, John.  My Sky Blue model is coming soon, from a US dealer. Looks outstanding!

Mine arrived a couple of days ago and sadly I haven't had time to open and really examine it yet. Just looking at it in the box I can tell you I don't have a trace of buyer's remorse. The only problem I had was choosing a color.

What a beautiful car and replica of this one ! A real standout in anyone's collection. As usual, choosing a particular color would be the only problem to overcome.  

No problem with the color choice, just choose both, LOL!

Sage advice @jcarnutz! I had decided to get the green one. No sooner did I have it in my hand, then I couldn't resist buying the blue one as well! Here it is next to another blue 1968 Chrysler Corp. car:

@jkuvakas, great review of a GORGEOUS model!

John, another great presentation...love the history and of course the 300. Looks great in both colors!

My Sky Blue model arrived today.  Superb!  I had kinda forgotten about this generation of 300 till this model was released .  What a striking car it was. 

@whodeytink I have the green one coming soon.
