The 1962 Chrysler 300 represents a massive turning point for one of America's most iconic nameplates. Dubbed "The Beautiful Brute", this model year marked the split of the 300 lineup into two distinct categories: the ultra-exclusive, high-performance 300H "Letter Series" and the more affordable, high-volume 300 "Sport Series".
The 1962 model dropped the prominent, sharp tail fins of the late 1950s in favor of a sleek, "jet-age" profile. Key features included:
- The "Jukebox" Dash: A highly stylized, AstraDome dashboard utilizing advanced, futuristic electroluminescent lighting.
- Push-Button Transmission: The three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission was operated via a famous array of mechanical buttons located directly on the dashboard.
- Luxury Amenities: Premium options included functional leather bucket seats, a full-length center console, a driver's power seat, and power windows.
Purchased from Garren Auto Sales, this car has been a part of the Duncan Imports collection since 2013. The car has 50% of its original paint and the interior is the original red leather bucket seats. The engine is the optional 413 single 4 barrel.
