| No A/C is unusual for that model. The auto in Chrysler products was first class. Ford Motor Company traded their paint technology (which was first class) to Chrysler for their automatic transmission technology, a win win for both companies. As far as the Hemi was concerned nothing and I mean NOTHING could outrun a hemi. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: At one point I had an original Chrysler 300, 1955 vintage. In my teenage years my Dad had a 1957 Chrysler Imperial, 2 door without air conditioning. When my parents went on a company convention I would take off the front hub caps and take out the Imperial to drag race on the back roads. It had a Hemi with push button transmission. I would, in quick sequence, floor it in neutral and then push 1 |
. Not sure why I never dropped the transmission.
The car was built like a tank and in fact many demolition derbies banned Imperials for that reason. It was also the first American car to have curved side glass.
