I remember seeing a few of these on the road when I was a kid. This is nothing short of a rolling work of mid-century modern art...one of Virgil Exner's masterpieces of design. The iconic grille, the flaring fins and tail lights, the amazing interior...topped off with the 413 with dual quads on a cross ram intake manifold. This car must have been a shot of pure adrenaline to drive on the open road. I'm drooling...one of my favorite cars for sure.
If there's anyone lucky enough out there to own one of these Chrysler vehicles with the 'Elecro-Luminescent' dash panel, I would LOVE to see what that looks like !! These 'gum-ball'/juke-box style dashes look fantastic enough in the day time, but I have never seen what it looks like when illuminated at night.. . . . . . . .
My first car was a 1962 Chrysler Newport Town & Country station wagon, which had the 120-mph version of this speedometer. The rest of the dash was much the same. And it was something to see at night!
Classic. And to have Bob himself guide the tour? Well, icing on the engineering cake! " ... a feeling of oneness with their machine; a feeling of oneness with the road ... " AWESOME!! Thanks for posting!!
I would proudly own AND drive either one of these cars over ANY Cars built today!💕
This engine was a beast
Im getting this car when im done my 1958 plymouth fury!
By 1960, your 58 Fury would be a complete rust bucket.
Love those cars of yesterday. My uncle had a red convertible with a white top

A manly car, designed with your mind in mind.

One of the best designs ever to come from Chrysler. The dashboard alone has never been equaled before or since.

The 1960 Chrysler Corporation vehicles, including the Chrysler 300F, continued the "Forward Look" design penned by Virgil Exner.
He's right. I really have to drive one. I want one
pretty car
I think there were only 6 or 7 400 horsepower 4 speeds built.
Some say as many as eighteen. But whatever the number, they are quite rare today.
