End of the Road for Chrysler 300 C – The Era Ends


Chrysler 300 began life in 1955 as a 300hp V8, and continued through the 60’s with increases in power, and changes in style.

The 300 worked its way through the alphabet, concluding with the 300S. The Chrysler 300D won a Bonneville land speed record in 1958 at 156.387 mph, enough to cement legend to the end of the 300 nameplate.

300 was revived briefly in 1995, but was a mere pretender until 2005, when the 300C series came back into series production. It brought retro styling and a range of trim levels, and looked as cool as hell, something any gangster would be proud to be seen in. From 2005 to the end 0f 2023, 300C ran through 2 models and many engines, including the 6.4L Hemi V8 that powered the stunning SRT.

We drove the SRT 8” Chrysler 300 on roads it was never designed for. Back in 2012, we took a wrong turn and found ourselves deep in the Belanglo State Forest, a place where bodies were literally buried.

It is therefore sad news that Stellantis is ending the production of the Chrysler 300C at the Brampton plant. There will be a chorus of jeers and boos, but big pig-ironed dinosaur burners are falling out of fashion. As buyers fall more deeply in love SUVs, passenger cars don’t warrant a second look. Not only that, electric cars embarrass big V8s without breaking a sweat, at least in a straight line.
