If you're a fan of the original Chrysler 300's and their Hemi engines you may be aware that in 1952 a Hemi-powered Chrysler coupe was first among domestic cars in the legendary Carrera Pan Americana (Mexican Road Race) and that for 1955 Chrysler Corporation's design chief Virgil Exner was readying a radically restyled line in which a Chrysler hardtop was to be powered by a 300 hp Hemi. Because of this engine's horsepower rating the car would be badged as a Chrysler 300. A team of three 300's was readied for the Pan Americana but the event was cancelled due to the risks, to both spectators and drivers, of open-road competition. The 300's missed their chance at road racing fame but they live on in the form of a limited edition 1:43 scale model by Brooklin. This would make a welcome Christmas gift if you're feeling generous, or perhaps with a little hint to the right person, you might find one under your own Christmas tree.
