Five Of The Most Elegant American
Cars

5. 1956 Chrysler
300B: The first of the 300 “letter-series” (the 1955
C-300 was never actually called the “300A”), it was probably the prettiest Mopar
design of the 1950s. Its pillarless hardtop design and restrained use of chrome
were wildly inconsistent with the over-the-top performance that the car was
capable of delivering from its 355-hp, 354-cubic-inch Hemi V-8. It
terrorized NASCAR back in the day.
