Re: [Chrysler300] 1955: 300 or C300?

Hi Andy and others interested,

Here's my take on the identification of the '55's.  They were marketed as simply 300 since that was the name given to the sub-model much as Windsor and New Yorker were named sub-models of Chrysler cars.  For more precise identification mostly in technical matters each of the sub-models was given another identifier.  For '55 the Windsor is known as C-67, New Yorker as C-68, Imperial as 
C-69, Crown Imperial as C-70, and then there is the 300  as C-300 and in some cases as C-68-300 which maybe suggests it to be a sub-category of the New Yorker.

Until the '56 was produced and named 300B there was little reason to call a '55  c-300, but as the series progressed, especially in the 60's when the sport 300 became a reality, it seemed important to folks during conversations to be certain there was an understanding that the '55 was a member of the lettered series of 300's.

I feel it is absolutely correct to call it by either identifier

I'm interested in seeing how others perceive this "name game".
