300
SERIES - (V-8)
- The second facelift of the design introduced in 1965 was
limited to trim alterations, plus minor changes to the front and
rear facades. The glass covered headlamps and the cross bar
grille motif were dropped in favor of a more contemporary look.
Two decorative trim pieces were added to each front fender,
behind the wheelhouse opening, as a styling flair. Bucket seats
were standard on this model. The 300 offered an optional engine
for the performance enthusiast.
300
SERIES I.D. NUMBERS: Serial Numbers and Engine Numbers were
located in the usual positions. 300 Serial Numbers were assigned
in a similar fashion to the Newport series except that the prefix
was 'CM' rather than 'CL'. CM23J66-100001 and up would identify a
1966 Chrysler 300 two-door hardtop with the 440 cubic inch engine
built in Delaware.
NOTE: Style CM41 was, evidently, built for
the Canadian market and was called a Saratoga.
