1959 Chrysler 300E Hardtop

The car is finished in red over tan leather upholstery, and power comes from a 413ci Golden Lion V8 mated to a push-button TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes dual Carter four-barrel carburetors, an electric fuel pump, power-assisted drum brakes, power steering, hubcaps, swiveling power-adjustable front bucket seats, a heater and defroster, power windows, and an AM radio. Virgil Exnerâ??s Forward Look design language from the 1957 300C was largely carried over to the 1958 300D and the 1959-only 300E. Additional equipment includes fender-mounted mirrors, a retractable antenna, and a dual-exit exhaust system. Black-painted 14â?³ steel wheels wear 300-branded chrome hubcaps and are mounted with H78-14 Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires. A full-size spare wheel with a Goodyear tire is stowed in the trunk. The 300E rides on a 126â?³ wheelbase and utilizes a torsion-bar front suspension as well as power-assisted drum brakes and power steering. The cabin features power-adjustable swiveling front bucket seats as well as a rear bench that have been retrimmed in tan leather, while a color-coordinated headliner and door panels are fitted. Black carpets line the floors, and equipment includes power windows, a heater and defroster, an AM radio, engine-turned dash trim, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a front folding armrest, and front lap belts. There are cracks in the black dash pad.
