Highly regarded as a larger, more luxurious precursor to muscle cars, Chrysler’s vaunted 300-series “letter cars” established the company as a leader in performance and style in the 1950s, with early models dominating NASCAR competition.

The initial C-300 of 1955, advertised as “America’s Most Powerful Car,” was the first American production car to produce 300 horsepower, thanks to its 5.4-liter FirePower V-8. The 300-B followed in 1956, with each successive year given the next letter of the alphabet as a suffix, excluding the letter I. The series culminated in 1965 with the 300-L, after which Chrysler used “300” as a standalone moniker for future models.

Big news for 1960 and the 300-F—sixth edition of the letter series, offered in both coupe and convertible form—was Chrysler’s switch from traditional ladder frame to unibody construction. Design chief Virgil Exner evolved the series’ long and low “Forward Look” by tilting the signature tailfins outward, devising a distinct crosshair front grille, and adding a Flite-Sweep rear decklid with a faux spare-tire cover. Inside, the seating arrangement changed to four bucket seats with a center console running the length of the cabin. An AstraDome instrument cluster featured staggered gauges in a domed housing with electroluminescent lighting. The Golden Lion “wedge” V-8 engine introduced in 1959 continued with 413 cubic inches of displacement and 375 horsepower in standard trim, with a novel Cross Ram manifold placing four-barrel carburetors on opposing sides of the engine.

The 300-F Convertible offered here is one of only 248 produced and was previously owned by noted collector William Boucher. A past restoration to its factory-correct finishes of Alaskan White over Tan leather presents nicely with only minor signs of age throughout. The trim tag in the engine bay confirms the car came equipped with air conditioning and heater, Golden Touch Tune radio, and Solex tinted glass. Since joining the Leith Collection in 2024, the 300-F Convertible has been well maintained and preserved in fine mechanical order, ensuring its next owner will relish driving and showing it at events.
