I was not a fan of the 63 and 64 Chrysler design but really liked this new look.This example besides being rare, was really a factory hotrod.

My thoughts as well Bob.  The '65 & '66 were great looking cars.....the '67....not so much IMHO.

Though completely different than one another, my favorite Chrysler 300's were the '56 and '57.

I loved the '55 and '56, but the gaping mouth grille of the '57 thru '59 never really grabbed me.  The '60 thru '62 and '65/66 are awesome cars as well.

Well, when you're right - you're right!

 

The '57 DID have a gaping grille; much like, and reminiscent of, Julia Roberts:

My '55 & '56 reminds me more of Charlize Theron:

My Mom's first new car was a 65 Newport Sedan.  It had the 383 with a 4 barrell and it would move.

I'm the opposite of you Mr. Jackman.  I prefer the '63/'64 Chrysler's over the new look in '65.

@perrone1 Okay that makes sense to me now....I never thought Ms. Roberts was a looker....must have been the subliminal late 50s Chryco link.  Mind you IMO the '60 Imperial was a closer match....

I didn't even know you could get a '65 Chrysler like this.  Super rare!

That is a great looking Chrysler 300 ! I generally really like Chrysler 300's from any year and this beauty is one you don't see very often ....... plus it has 2×4 413 cid V-8.

Ditto for me.  I loved the glass headlight covers on the 300s and the New Yorkers, but the clear taillights on the New Yorkers sealed the deal!
