Final Chrysler 300 has rolled off the assembly line!
Friday, December 8th to be exact. A Velvet Red 300C. Good article in the Hagerty's publication.
"In 2003, Chrysler showed a new concept car to a handful of journalists in Phoenix, Arizona. I happened to be there. I wandered backstage shortly before the presentation, and there was the concept: A rather breathtaking sedan.
Its designer was nearby. I complimented him on his work, and I said it would be great if Chrysler would build it.
“They are!” he said. “Just like it sits here!”
Right, I thought. When the powers that be get through with it, the car will look like a Dodge Intrepid.
I was wrong. The designer was a young Ralph Gilles, and the car was the Chrysler 300C that the company would introduce as a 2005 model. The car kickstarted Gilles’ career, and he rose through the design and motorsports ranks to become the head of Dodge—a very unusual path for a designer. He’s currently Chief Design Officer for Stellantis at the age of 57."

The Velvet Red model that implied this achievement was the remnant of a dying breed, encompassed by the devoted Brampton group who paused for a minute to recognize this critical part in auto history.
