The Chrysler 300G was the last three hundred to wear Virgil Exner's famous fins. Major differences from the previous year’s model included a new front end with canted quad headlamps and a new rear treatment, which lacked the faux continental spare of the 300F. The 1961 300G was tested by Road & Track magazine and it went from 0 to 60-mph in 8.4-seconds. 1/4-mile was 16.2-seconds at 87-mph.

Without a doubt, this is one of the more lavishly appointed cars when it came to the interior; they were luxurious and exceptionally fast, aimed to the well-fixed motoring enthusiasts of the early 1960s. To make this car even more spectacular is the fact that it started as a rust free example, but was graced with a meticulous nut and bolt restoration. The Wedge head V-8 offered ample performance and ride control was excellent. Continuing hot on the heels of the 300F, the 300G was even more popular with 1,280 hardtop coupes and 337 convertibles sold. For many purists, the G edition of the 300 Series represents the last of the great letter series cars.
