1962 Chrysler 300H Convertible 413/380 HP, Automatic, 1 of 123 Produced LOT S48 Chrysler moved its flagship 300H from the full-size New Yorker platform to the lighter, more compact Windsor platform, shedding 4 inches from its wheelbase and 400 pounds. Higherrate springs gave the torsion bar suspension a noticeable increase in overall performance. Gone were the rear fins, replaced by a smoothly contoured rear deck that suited the car’s more purposeful demeanor. Still, the 300H remained in a class by itself as a luxury performer. At 413 cubic inches, the standard dual 4-barrel Wedge engine delivered 380 HP at 5,200 rpm and an impressive 450 lb/ft of torque at 3,600 rpm, and the 300H interior, renowned for its four individual leather bucket seats, fulllength console and unique glowing highvoltage instrument panel, remained one of the most lavish in the industry. One of only 123 produced, this magnificently restored Festival Red 1962 300H convertible incorporates a Tan leather interior with all the standard amenities: air conditioning, push-button Torqueflite automatic, power top and windows, console-mounted tach and power steering and brakes.
