Background:

In 1955, Chrysler created the "Gentleman's Hot Rod" buy taking it's 331CI Hemi engine with a 4bbl carb, holding back on the trim excesses, stiffening the suspension, and giving it the Imperial's grill for distinctiveness. It was called the C-300 for Hemi's horsepower rating. It was an immediate hit with the NASCAR Drivers, and the Road Rally Drivers.

Letter Series:

Originally called Letter Series cars, a lesser class of non-Letter Series 300s were introduced in 1962. These cars were basically glorified Newports sold as stripped 300s. They lacked many of the performance, appearance, & sports options, and has more mundane base engine offerings. Sadly, the 300 was bastardized further in the late 60s with the introduction 4-door 300s.

C-300 of 1955 is often confused with the 300C of 1957.
