Yea ,:violent-smiley-100: Binging this up again..This maybe the first production muscle car..
55 Chrysler 300, model name C-300. The 56 would be called 300B. This is the first production car with 300 horsepower. Power came from a solid lifter 331 cu. in. Hemi with dual quads and dual exhaust.

:headbang:Someday this will be mine...........

I know where one sits just like it. Complete but just needs restoration.
 
I don't know if it was the 1st ever muscle car "so to speak", maybe some of the early Deusenbergs or other Supercharged early cars, but never the less, very cool old NASCAR history with that model of Chrysler car too... I like it
 
Wow, nice car. And I bet you are right. But like Budnicks says, how far back do you have to go to find something that was hot rodded? Seems people been racing cars as soon as the second one was on the road. Hope you get it Pops!
