Re: [Chrysler300] First factory assembled dual quad car?

["George Riehl" <longrams@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is not very well known..........the 1957 Chrysler Imperial had a "performance package". It consisted of a dual 4 intake with WCFB carbs. with oval air cleaners.  I did see one shortly after I got my '57 Southhampton Imp that came thru the same dealer I got my Imp. from,..... N.J. Popovic Chrysler, Plymouth, W.117th St. Cleveland, Ohio. It is the same dealer that I got my 1954 Chrysler Special Deluxe 2 dr. Newport hard top, called the "Golden Falcon". Yellow paint, gold colored pot metal and the "V" on the hood and trunk with black and yellow leather uphl.  Years ago, Sherwood Kahlemberg wrote an article about my "Falcon" in the W.P.C. News. He did not really think I had one untill I sent the picture and a copy of the original title.  You know how rare that car was? Never knew how rare untill 5 years after I traded it on my 1955 Imperial Crown sedan, which then was traded in on the '57 Imp.

  300 Fans, I suspect the answer is Wayne Graefen's "Adam", '53 Chrysler NYer 
  set up by the factory for entry into the Mexican Road Race. It's "X" coded 
  intake manifold and related upgrades, the precursers to the '55 300, show it 
  to be experimental, but it was factory done, and sold to a member of the 
  "public", all be it, a very wealthy one ! Other possibilities? 
  All the Best 300ing!
