1959 Chrysler 300E Two-Door Hardtop

413 cid overhead valve V8 engine fitted with dual four-barrel carburetors rated at 380 horsepower, three-speed Torque-Flite automatic transmission, four-wheel power-assisted hydraulic drum brakes; wheelbase: 126.0"

Marketed as the "Beautiful Brute," the 300E's styling retained its ties to the previous two seasons rather than taking on the new look for the rest of the line. While the outside hadn't changed that much, under the hood was a brand new engine; the 413 cid "Wedge." Getting its nick-name from the shape of its combustion chamber, these engines were able to provide more power and torque than the mighty Hemi.

Presented in non-restored condition just as it was found by the Old Car Heaven Museum, this is one of the 550 "E" hardtops produced for the model year. Showing just under 65,800 miles, which appear to be from new, it is loaded with options such as power steering and brakes, heater-defroster, and a truly desirable innovation, swivel front bucket seats which made getting into and out of these sharp cars much easier with just the flick of a lever. Also included are a number of both new and reproduction items including a complete interior set still in the box. Considered one of the most desirable additions to the letter-series Chryslers, this represents a rare example for you to join a very small circle of lucky drivers.
