At the Brampton Assembly Plant in Ontario, a ceremony marked the end of an era for an iconic American car. The last Chrysler 300C, a stunning red sedan, was produced and marked the culmination of the model's impressive 70-year history.

In September last year, Chrysler unveiled the final model year which brought a limited edition V8-powered trim. The 2023 300C had a 6.4-liter Hemi engine and production was strictly limited to 2,000 units for the United States and 200 for Canada. All cars were reserved within 12 hours. 

“Chrysler brand is proud to mark the legacy of the Chrysler 300C as a true automotive icon, one of the original muscle cars representing bold American luxury,” Chris Feuell, Chrysler brand chief executive officer, commented. “As we celebrate the last HEMI-powered 300C off the line with our Brampton team members, we’re also excited to work together as Chrysler brand moves forward to a sustainable all-electric future as part of the Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan.”

Chrysler officially announced that by the end of this month, production of all Chrysler 300 variants will also end.

The current generation 300 debuted in 2011, making it one of the oldest products you can buy new today. Surprisingly, every Chrysler 300 still sells for more than the manufacturer's suggested retail price. Reportedly, a new electric sedan will replace the 300, but not much is known about this EV at the moment.
