| 1965 Chrysler 300L Convertible |
Sotheby's give us some numbers from a Chrysler 300 they sold last year:
- One of 440 300L Convertibles produced for the 1965 model year
- Powered by a 413-cu.-in. V-8 engine paired with a three-speed TorqueFlite transmission
- Featuring air conditioning, an AM/FM radio, and power windows
MotorTrend tells us a story:
[This story first appeared in the Winter 2011 issue of MotorTrend Classic] Sing it with me: “I got me a car, it’s as big as a whale, and we’re heading on down to the Love Shack. I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20, so hurry up and bring your jukebox money.” Of course you know the lyrics. Everybody knows those lyrics. But perhaps you’ve never seen the video, the one where Fred Schneider pilots a turquoise and chrome 1965 Chrysler 300 Convertible. B-52s guitarist Keith Strickland’s in the front seat riffing away (he’s probably got a combo amp in the footwell—there’s room for it), while the quartet’s twin beauties Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson sit perched upon the rear seatback belting their sweet hearts out. “Glitter on the mattress, glitter on the highway.”
Not seen the video? Are you kidding? Of course I've seen the video, but I am afraid I did not notice the make and model of the car. It only shows up a couple of times in the first 20 seconds, and it sure looks like a Chrysler convertible. It's not turquoise though.

The car in the video is not turquoise, so here's one. Maybe I got the wrong video.
