The return of the 300 SRT8 to the Chrysler lineup in 2012 evoked a strong comparison to the original
high-performance production car of its time – the 1955 Chrysler 300. Known for simple, strong lines,
excellent engineering, high levels of luxury and outstanding performance with the first modern North
American V8 engine to produce 300 horsepower, the first Chrysler 300 (C-300) was styled by Virgil
Exner, who radically redesigned the entire Chrysler line and created what they called "The Forward
Look" in 1955. Without much chrome on the sides, his designs were simple, but strong. Exner is
credited with creating the illusion of fast, forward movement.
