SIA Flashback – Precursor to The Muscle Cars: 1957 Chrysler 300-C vs. 1957 Pontiac Bonneville

Looking for a little more Exner love this week? How about Arch Brown and Bud Juneau’s comparison report from SIA #166, July 1998, pitting two of the hottest American performance cars from 1957 against each other – the fuelie Pontiac Bonneville and the dual-quad Hemi-powered Chrysler 300-C. Ex, of course, oversaw the design of the latter, and it’s a good bet that something like the Bonneville would have appeared sooner or later if Ex had stuck around with GM a little longer.
