Unique: ’65 Chrysler 300L Convertible

The Chrysler letter cars are among the most collectible big muscle cars of the era. The series began in 1955 with the 300 and continued in alphabetical order until 1965. By 1965, the Chrysler 300 letter brand had been diluted by all the various models offered as plain 300s. Chrysler ended production of the letter series with the 300L. The 300L sold quite well, with 2,405 hardtops and 440 convertibles but it did not hold the same magic as the more exclusive early cars. Today’s featured 300 Convertible is a special order car and is being sold by the son of the original owner.

Fins that swept up from just behind the front doors were featured on the car. The stylish New Yorker sold well with a total of 10,948 units built, only 1,049 convertible models.
