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.
