Our Take:
- Heartbeat of the Road: The 1956 Chrysler 300B is a gem from the past, renowned for its powerful 354 cubic inch HEMI V8 engine. With 340 horsepower, it was the king of the road back in its heyday. If you're into vintage muscle, this car's got the oomph that laid the groundwork for the American performance car movement.
- Rare Find: With just 1,102 units produced in 1956, this model is a treasure for classic car enthusiasts. According to the 300 Registry, only 232 are known to have survived, which means you're looking at a piece of automotive rarity—sort of like finding a Beatles' record signed by all four members.
- Unique Features: The 300B boasts Kelsey Hayes wheels, adding a dash of style that complements its robust build and classic black-with-red-leather aesthetic. The pushbutton control for the PowerFlite automatic transmission was quite the innovation—a quirky nod to the future back in the mid-'50s.
- California Heritage: The fact that this car has a clean California title is a plus. Given California's history with car culture, it's no wonder this 300B looks and runs well despite being driven nearly a million miles. It's a testament to both the car’s durability and the enthusiasm of its caretakers.
