The fifth chapter of the seven-part Chrysler Century of Innovation social media video series is now live. In the new episode, titled “The Chrysler 300 Retrospective,” Stellantis chief design officer Ralph Gilles reflects on the evolution of the Chrysler 300, including its 1950s roots as the original “banker’s hot rod;” the cultural impact of the sedan; and the 2005 Chrysler 300C that he and his team designed.
