Expert Posts: 4043 Location: Connecticut | The car is a one-of-none. The VIN on the car is from a junked out C300, according to the Chrysler 300 Club registry. Not a one-of-four. There were no C300 convertibles built. Ron | ||

Expert Posts: 2196 Location: Muskego, WI | Interesting, it still seems to be well done and presentable. Curious to see what the market is on such a car. | ||

Expert Posts: 1740 Location: Alaska | I think switching of vins would be considered illegal in most places. At the very least it would hurt the value of the car. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 655 Location: Finland | I don`t know about things in u.s . , but probably it is legal to change the body shell if it is mentioned in the title. Without that it smells like forgery. | ||

Location: The Mile High City | Looks pretty cool to me, as a one of none. At least they have the cross member under the frame. The top and boot look like they sit pretty high. On the 57s - 59s, this is an indication of the wrong rear wheel wells (say that four times fast). Maybe not on a 55. They could advertise it as the worlds slowest C300
- due to the extra frame weight! I bet it is fun to own and drive. | ||

I would put money on Nathan's "guess". "The New Yorker would contribute its two-door body, the Imperial, its two piece grill with Windsor rear quarters." Edited by 56D500boy 2021-04-18 9:08 PM | ||

Expert Posts: 1488 Location: Florida | For comparison, here is a 1955 Windsor convertible. There is a much lower stack of the folded convertible top. This may indicate that the original body from the 300 was used. In any case, the car is attractive, but still a one-of-none car.
