Here is Chrysler Corporation chief engineer Bob Rodgers proudly showing off the mighty V-8 engine under the hood of the powerful Chrysler 300E.

And here he is doing the proud parent thing again, telling the story of that car's much-improved replacement . . .

....and today, these 300-F 'verts are c.$125-$200K. If you had told anyone this, back in 1960, you would've been taken quietly to an all-white & soft but well-lit room and looked after every hour on the hour. 🤐 🤐 🙄 🙄 😯 😯

Thanks Mike, Graeme and Chris. The 60 300F is one of my favorite all time automobiles.

It is a stylishly good choice, Bob ! I have been lucky enough to see a real one at one of our local cruise nights.

Nice ! It is a great-looking and performing car and must be a blast to drive. I am happy to have several Chrysler 300 models in my collection, albeit 18 or 43 times smaller than full-size.
