1956 Chrysler 300B
300 B production:
1,102 coupes, 0 convertibles.
213 have survived.
This car was found in 1996 on a used car lot in New Jersey.
A collector from New York had donated this car to a church for the tax deduction.
The church had no use for it and found a used car dealer to sell it for them.
But before it came to New Jersey, this car was owned by Robert Cox in Nebraska in 1977.
Robert Cox also owned the L 4 speed featured on the 1965 page of this site.
Who would have ever guessed that these two cars would be reunited 20 years later.
The 300B engine is a 354 CID Hemi with dual Carter WCFB carburetors.
The choices for transmissions were either a two speed PowerFlite,
a three speed TorqueFlite, or a three speed manual.
This car has the two speed PowerFlite.
