No, there was no such thing as a 300 in 1953. 1955 was the first year.
However, the Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels were available in 1953.

Subject: IML: 53 300?
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick note to ask the membership about a message on the list of
12/17? It was about Kelsey Hayes wire wheels for a 55 Imperial. In this
message -- a reference was made to a 1953 300. I realize that this is a bit
off topic -- but was there ever a 1953 production 300? It is my
understanding that Bob Rogers (the father of the 300 letter series) first
proposed the idea of a Chrysler super car in 1954. The first production
300 - referred to a C - 300 - debuted as a 1955 model. Was this member
suffering from late nite "fat fingers" - or what? Any ideas?
