Re: [Chrysler300] Setting the parking brake . 64 300

On any car, vintage or modern, I always set the parking brake unless on completely level surfaces, such as in my garage.

 

It really bothers me when I see people shove the car in park and then let it roll a bit until the pawl engages.  Puts too much stress on the pawl.

 

By using the parking brake regularly, it never corrodes in place to the point where it can't be used.  Of course, with the early 300s with no park position, it must be used.  And even then, as Dave Schwandt said, having a wheel chock handy is a good idea.
