This 1957 Chrysler 300C hardtop coupe is one of approximately four Champagne Gold examples produced for the model year and is powered by a 392ci Firepower V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission.
Equipment includes dual four-barrel carburetors, power-assisted steering and brakes, a push-button gear selector, an AM radio, a dual exhaust system, 14″ steel wheels with turbine-style covers, tan leather upholstery, and American Classic whitewall tires.
The 300C marked the second generation of the 300 series, and the Virgil Exner “Forward Look” design featured quad headlights, a trapezoidal front grille, rear tail fins, chrome bumpers, dual fender-mounted side mirrors, and tri-color 300C badging.
This example left the factory in Champagne Gold and have been repainted.
Steel 14″ wheels wear turbine-style covers and 235/75 American Classic whitewall tires.
The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted drums at all four corners, which were serviced in preparation for the sale.
Additional work consisted of stripping and refinishing front suspension components.
The front and rear bench seats were reupholstered in tan leather with a Gary Goers interior kit.
Equipment includes a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a heater and defroster, a push-button gear selector, an AM radio, and lap belts.
A push-button starter has been installed below the instrument panel, and a dual-port USB charger is installed below the radio.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and frames a 150-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and a multifunction gauge.
The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 26k miles, total mileage is unknown.
The 392ci Firepower V8 was factory rated at 375 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque and features an alternator, an electric fuel pump, and dual four-barrel carburetors.
A fluid service was performed in preparation for the sale.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.
