| | Iconology: Chrysler 300 - The Car Connection |
 | | Yes, from 1999 through 2004, Chrysler offered a 300M model, but it was merely a separately-styled upper series of the second-generation V-6 front-drive LH cab-forward sedan, a cruel hoax on the 300 reputation. |
 | | Chrysler's had the same compression ratio, 7.5:1 and was about the same size, 331.1 cid vs. Cadillac's 330 cid, but put out higher engine speeds from the hemispherical combustion chamber vs. Cadillac's wedge design. |
 | | For the 1959 Chrysler 300E, the Hemi was abandoned in favor of a 380-hp, 413-cid version of the wedge-headed V-8 introduced on 1958 Plymouth, Dodge, and DeSoto cars. |
