Body
In 1957 lower, wider and longer was the automakers goal. The Chrysler 300C achieved all three and added fastest just for good measure. At just under 55 high, she was several inches lower than virtually all of the competition, almost 79 wide and over 219 long.

The design is tasteful and clean featuring a large windshield, front door vent windows, quad headlight face and a large, one-piece egg crate chrome grille with an elegantly minimal chrome bumper running beneath it and two rearward brightwork spears punctuated by the circular 300C logo. The pronounced vestigial fins pick up just aft of the doors and beneath the beltline flowing into twin backup lights set above large vertical tail lamps.

From the side, the 300C looks particularly good. Her long and low proportions are readily revealed from this angle. Also easily noticeable from the side, you will see a forward tilt to her front end that is mirrored by a rearward tilt to her fins creating a sleek and balanced overall appearance.

The futuristic 300C design also marked the debut of a Jet Age tailfin styling trend that would continue on for years. Wind-tunnel tests showed the fins on the 300C to be functional at higher speeds, but it was their style that caused the public to clamor for them.

ENGINE
Legendary power resides beneath the clean lines of this hood.

This 1957 300C packs a 392-cu.in. version of the race-proven Hemi engine with a standard 375hp producing a massive 420-lbs.ft. of torque at 4,000 RPM.
The 392 brings fuel and air into the engine through a pair of Walter Carter four-barrel or WCFB carburetors and reaches peak horsepower at 5,200 RPM.
Today, the stock carburetors are rare pieces. The front WCFB carburetor has no choke provision.

Seemingly minor innovations, such as the SilentFlite cooling fan, bring additional horsepower gains to the Hemi.
The fan spins like a conventional fixed unit at low engine revolutions, but above 2,500 RPM, the fan disengages, freeing up otherwise wasted horsepower.

TRANSMISSION
The factory performance enhanced pushbutton three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission was standard equipment.

The 1957 model year marked the appearance of the
