  Cars - Chrysler 300 letter series
The Chrysler 300 "letter series" were high-performance luxury cars built in very limited numbers by the Chrysler Corporation in the United States between 1955 and 1965.
The 300 "letter series" cars were the vehicles that really rekindled interest in performance among major US manufacturers postwar and thus can be considered the muscle car's ancestors, though much more expensive and exclusive.
Chrysler has recently started using these designations again for sporting near-luxury sedans, using 300M from 1999, and continuing the 300 series with a new V8 300C, the top model of a relaunched Chrysler 300

 Chrysler - Wikicars
In 1928 Chrysler founded the Plymouth brand at the low end, the DeSoto brand at the low-medium end and purchased the Dodge Brothers automobile company; all of this was in order to set up a full range of brands similar to that of the General Motors corporation.
Chrysler acquired AMC in 1987, mostly for its Jeep brand although the failing Eagle Premier would be the basis for the Chrysler LH platform sedans.
By 1993, Chrysler started to phase out the Pentastar, with Dodge getting its own "Ram" logo, and by 1995, Chrysler revived the rosette symbol (similar to the wings of the Bentley logo) it had used prior to the Pentastar; Plymouth was given a new sailboat logo.

 Chrysler 300 Letter Series Timeline
Chrysler Corporation, the American car company that merged with Daimler-Benz in 1998, from its founding was known as the “engineering company” of American “Big Three” auto manufacturers.
This model was the last letter series car reflecting the direct influence of the two men who developed the original 300 — the famed designer Virgil Exner and Chrysler Chief Engineer Bob Rodger.
This year the 300K departed from traditions long held within the letter series—leather upholstery was optional, the automatic transmission provided as standard equipment was now shifted via a lever on a floor console instead of by the dash-mounted pushbuttons used since 1956, and the speedometer read to 120, not 150, mph.

The Chrysler event staff was bold enough to plan a driving route with lengthy stints on winding two-lanes, and the 300 rose to the challenge, settling eagerly and gracefully into the turns.
Chrysler has adopted a fresh set of audio and climate controls for the 300, and they're a welcome upgrade from what was used in the 300M and Concorde — both in terms of visual appeal and ergonomics.
The 300 may be rear-wheel drive, but with plenty of Mercedes mechanicals, it's a model of refinement compared to its hooligan ancestors.
