From its inception in 1929, Chrysler Corporation had been laboring in the shadow of Ford and GM, until, in 1955, Chrysler experienced a confluence of styling and performance that catapulted it to the forefront of the industry. Its trendsetting C-300 was beautiful and powerful, and launched a high-performance assault that continued until the early 1970s. Road Runners, Barracudas, Challengers, Chargers and Super Bees, powered by legendary 426 Hemi, 340, 440 and 383 engines, were transformed into the greatest racers of the era. This fascinating volume chronicles Chrysler's high-performance history from the C-300 to today's headturning Viper. A delightful combination of archival and contemporary photographs, plus technological developments, racing, styling, engineering, personalities, promotions and more highlight Chrysler's muscle car era.

Only lacking in comparison reports and multicar tests..
