Summary

[edit]
Description

1956 Chrysler 300-B stock car. V-8 cylinder engine, overhead valves, 352 cubic inches displacement, 355 horsepower

They didn’t call the Chrysler 300 letter series luxury cars “bankers’ hot rods” for nothing. The 1956 300-B’s big V-8 achieved that holy grail of one horsepower per cubic inch. The cars dominated NASCAR, where rules still restricted teams to stock power. Note the cutout in the right wheel well and the nearby spotlight. These modifications allowed the driver to check tire wear through a hole in the firewall. Matt Anderson, curator of transportation at The Henry Ford.
