auburnseeker Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I've seen some pretty nice ones in the mid to upper teens. While a good start, you could easily spend that between the mechanical overhaul and interior before you get to a paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting in '62, the "300" designation replaced the "Windsor" nameplate. They made thousands of these as opposed to the very limited production "Letter Series" cars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 55er Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Yes the 1961 and prior years were all 300 "letter series" cars with very limited production numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little confusing since the Letter Series cars continued to be made until 1965. So for '62 through '65, there were both "non-letter series" 300's and "letter series" 300's. As stated above, the letter series cars had much lower production numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'd say the non-letter 300's were positioned a notch above the Windsor. They competed in the sportier big car niche with cars like the Buick Wildcat and the Olds Starfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember once parking my 1962 Chrysler 300 4-door hardtop next to a Ford LTD Station Wagon...and it was longer than the wagon by a good 8"!

ghostymosty Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The non letter 300 replaced the Saratogo model in 1962, the Windsor was still around until that name was replaced by the Newport which had originally designated a hardtop (no post) style in Windsor, Saratoga, New Yorker, and Imperial models.
