Known affectionately as the 'Banker's Hot Rod,' the 1957 Chrysler 300C series epitomized the pinnacle of the famous 300 letter-series cars. The 1957 300C broke numerous speed records, including the unofficial Stock Car record at 145.7 mph, and set an average speed of 134 mph at the Daytona Flying Mile. In addition, the 300C won both the NASCAR Grand National Stock Car and Women's National Speed Trial Championships that year. Power is provided by a 392ci dual-quad HEMI V8 mated to a TorqueFlite push-button transmission. The 300C was honored as Motor Trend's Car of the Year in 1957. This particular example received a body-on restoration with the 392/375hp HEMI V8 and TorqueFlite transmission.

The red exterior surrounds a leather buckskin interior, and door coverings are adorned with the 300 logo. Additional features include power steering, power brakes, power six-way front seat, power windows, Solex safety glass, rear defroster, upgraded lighting package and AM Electro-Touch radio. The 300C is finished with Kelsey Hayes wire wheels riding on wide whitewall radial tires. It is registered with the Chrysler 300 Club International, and documented with a photocopy of the Chrysler factory data card.
