Re: {Chrysler 300} The Price is Right game show circa 1961

The bidders were funny. The guys just kept going and the women were reserved.

I watched a ton of these early ones and the times were certainly different.

If I heard it right the car was loaded up, "fat" as the dealers would say among themselves. Big price tag. Would have bought a well appointed Sedan Deville.

Here's a good link for the black 300G, Yvonne Cahagan from Levittown, PA was the winner.

January 25, 1961 - https://youtu.be/qyR3fA-PCuw?si=UogKJ4qWKzXs2KP3&t=1193

The two cars were pretty loaded and neither one seems to have a match in the club registries.

I had YouTube links to the two 300G convertibles but they don't work now. I'll have to look for new ones. I may have downloaded the videos as well.

The black one was on 1/25/1961, $6,740.00

The red one was on 8/9/1961, $6,711.80

Hi 300 ites on this beautiful sunday in March.

I was watching old Price is Rights shows yesterday while taking a break from working outside on a drizzley Saturday and guess what was on?

A 1961 Chrysler 300 G convt. In black.

The suggested retail price was around $6700.

They did a list of options on the car prior to 4 panelist guessing the price.

Check it out. Pretty COOL

I also remember a 57 or 58 C or D on The PIR.show but would have been earlier shows.

Roku Channel "BUZZR"

*NOTE that they show lots of old 50's 60's and 70's shows and I happened to see an early show.

Have a Great and Safe Spring!
