A well-preserved 1959 Chrysler 300E Convertible with a 413ci V8, offered with service records, awards, and a Pennsylvania title.
This rare 1959 Chrysler 300E Convertible, one of only 140 examples produced, is a fine representation of Chrysler's iconic 300 Letter Series. With just two owners since 1987, this well-preserved classic has won multiple awards and was showcased at the AACA Cavalcade of Fine Motorcars during the 2024 Philadelphia Automobile Show. The car, now available through a dealer in Arizona, offers a unique blend of style and power with a 413ci Golden Lion V8 engine and three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission.
The Chrysler 300E is finished in Ivory White with a power-operated white Haartz soft top, complemented by chrome accents and distinctive rear tail fins. The exterior was refurbished in the 1990s, with rust repairs made to the rear wheel wells and further touch-ups in the 2010s after minor damage. Its exterior details include quad headlights, a driver-side mirror, and a power-telescoping antenna, capturing the era's luxurious design aesthetics.
Inside, the 300E’s beige leather interior features power-adjustable swiveling bucket seats up front and a rear bench, providing a comfortable, vintage feel. Equipped with power windows, an Electro Touch-Tuner AM radio, an electric clock, and a heater, this Chrysler offers period-correct amenities. Though some minor issues exist, such as the radio remaining on the high-frequency side and several non-functional interior lights, the car retains its elegant, classic ambiance.
Under the hood, the 413ci V8 engine, factory-rated at 380 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque, includes dual four-barrel carburetors and an added electric fuel pump. Paired with a TorqueFlite automatic transmission, this powerhouse drives smoothly with power steering and power-assisted drum brakes, ensuring both comfort and control on the road.
The Chrysler 300E Convertible comes with its owner’s manual, service records, and awards, as well as a Pennsylvania Antique Vehicle title, making it a rare opportunity for collectors to own a piece of American automotive history.
