The last of the true letter-series cars was the 300L of 1965. It saw 2845 copies, including a mere 440 convertibles. Also showing for 1970 had been Chrysler’s final big convertibles, a Newport and 300 that noticed respective manufacturing of just 1124 and 1077 units. A reminder, but not a revival, of the great letter-series in 1970 was Chrysler’s 300-H. The “H” stood for Hurst, maker of the floor-mounted shifter used for the TorqueFlite computerized. If not the most lovely Chryslers of the decade, they have been at least handsome with their nice looping bumper/grille combos, fulsome bodysides, and low rooflines. None of these had been quite the stormers that earlier 300s had been, but they remained essentially the most roadable Chryslers and among the perfect handling of all huge Detroiters. Chrysler did very nicely for 1965, selling over 125,000 Newports, nearly 30,000 non-letter 300s and nearly 50,000 New Yorkers. By 1965, Newport’s annual gross sales had been exceeding 125,000. The ‘61 carried a 265-bhp 361 V-8
