The Chrysler 300E was introduced for the 1959 model year, and was a series of luxury personal cars available as a two door Hardtop or Convertible. The 300E was the fifth variant of the 300 Letter Series, and featured a new 6.8L 'Golden Lion' V8 engine. Like all 300 Letter Series cars, the 300E was only available for one model year, and was replaced by the Chrysler 300F.
