On "My Car Story" we're in the Suburbs of Minneapolis MN on 6-1-22.
We're looking at a 1957 Chrysler 300C Convertible in White Paint. The car comes with the factory 392 CI “Hemi” engine, and an automatic transmission.
The car's Owner is Randy Guyer. Randy’s had this car since 2017. This car has been put away in a garage since 1968 before the Son of the Owner who passed away called Randy and shared I might have a car you’re interested in. Well, Randy was interested, and here it is.
ENJOY!

*Hi, If you like this video, please click on the 🤍 THANKS button under the video title" Thank you! Lou*
Oh my god…. I love that “C” !!! From the 392 all the way to the black top and white paint, exactly the way I would have ordered it. Can’t wait to see the rest of his mighty collection… another Gem Lou keep it going 👍🏼
Hi Richard, Happy to read "Oh my god…. I love that “C” !!!" :-) Stay tuned, more from Randy's collection will be coming up in future episodes, Lou
A diamond in the rough! This guy has a phenomenal collection of classic Mopars, and this example is no exception. It definitely needs some TLC, but it was a survivor indeed, as far as taking it for a spin, it's better to be safe than sorry. That engine sounds rough, and it is in need of a thorough tune-up! 👍
Hi Michael, You're exactly right, this one needs some TLC and after that should be a fun car to ride in :-) Lou
You sure knew who made the cars you saw on the road coming and going back then. There was no mistaking GM FORD CHRYLSER especially.. Kudos on this great original Lou. Underrated iconic design, in my opinion. Truly a great symbol of 1957 styling.
Hi 55points, Thank you for sharing, and happy to share this "great original" with you :-) Lou
Wow Lou!! You've outdone yourself this time! My all time fave American car. A thing of beauty & a joy forever!! Thanks, Tiger.
Hi Tiger, Happy to receive a "Wow" from you :-) Glad to read this is your "all time fave Amercian car". You're welcome, Lou
I have great fondness for true original, untouched classic cars. They creak and cough, have a few age spots on their skin, don’t like to be rushed, and are full of interesting stories. Like us guys that age (or older in my case). Thanks Lou!
Hi Mountain Climber, Happy to read you have a fondness for cars like this :-) You're welcome, Lou
A garage full of stabilizers and 300's. I'd probably live in it. That 57 found a great home. Nice job Lou
Hi FUBAR Model Yard, A FUN place for sure! Stay tuned as there are more to come, Lou
Very nice 300C! Randy has an amazing collection.
This is a great survivor - just love it!
Thanks Lou and Randy!
Hi Jeff, Happy to share this Survivor with you :-) My pleasure sharing with you. Thank you for all your support and encouragement. You're welcome, Lou
This is the car that dominated The New Yorker magazine cartoons whenever cars were drawn. Just add a man in a hat and a briefcase. Lo this model! Thanks, Lou.
Hi M A, Thank you for sharing. You're welcome, Lou
Randy's collection is just amazing!
The Chrysler cars of the 50's and 60's were high style for sure! Thanks Lou for yet another amazing "My Car Story" featuring Gary!😉
P.S. 1957 ! ........ same year I entered the world!😎
Hi George S, I agree, Randy has an amazing collection. Happy to read you and this car entered the world in the same year. You're welcome, Lou
WOW!! Another beautiful mopar classic.Just lovin that dashboard along with everything else.Thanks Lou and Randy.
Happy to receive a "WOW!!" from you :-) You're welcome keeff.
The 392 is my favorite production car V-8 engine. This is the engine that ruled the " Golden Age " of drag racing.
Hi Mike, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
When I was a kid my very first job was as a valet parker at several country clubs in the Boston area. The 300’s were always the car it took 5 minutes to park 100’ away. What a car you have.!
Hi Paul, "The 300’s were always the car it took 5 minutes to park 100’ away." NICE! Lou
Another "fin-tastic" one from Mr. Guyer! I'm always fond of the survivors, and this one truly impresses. I had to laugh when you guys discussed the old school, mothballs storage technique. Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to share this "fin-tastic" car with you :-) Glad to read your getting to laugh watching the videos. You're welcome, Lou
Hi Lou, I love the 300c and the dual mirrors and the styling is out of this world !! the originality
Hi Rich, Happy to read "I love the 300c" :-) Glad to read you enjoy the styling and originality of this car, Lou
Amazing! This car came out the same year I did. I wish I looked and sounded as good as THIS survivor! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Beast 1624, Happy to read you and this car have the same birth year. You're welcome, Lou
My Mom's favourite aunt had that car in white w/blue leather, New Yorker model, 2drht. She took me & 3 cousins to the beach, and it rained all day. When lunchtime came, we ate in it,
my Mom freaking out, putting beach towels down. We fiddled with all the buttons; she turned on the engine so we could fiddle more. Then the radio: we discovered Chuck Berry, Mom
& aunt made a face, but let it blare. I discovered cars & rock & roll that rainy day. Aunts favourite expression was "Better than staying home". Got that right! LOL
Hi Bruce, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Moms favorite Aunts car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Oh, yeah, that car is the one that started the sleeper world of vehicles, and probably the first ever muscle car.
Hi LITTLE, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
What a gorgeous classic Chrysler here! 6:34 Oh, only Mopar could make this powerplant. Thanks for sharing such an amazing car like this, Lou.
Hi Plymouth Die-Cast Replicas, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this classic :-) You're welcome, Lou
What a time capsule, it's just at point where if it doesn't any worse there will be no need to restore it. The majority of them are restored, to see a all original one is very cool. 5:43 '50's blue tooth! 7:16 fire power Lou. BTW Glad Noel sent you and you went to Mr. Guyer's collection. Can't wait to the rest.
Hi Richard, Yes, glad Noel sharing this connection. Happy to meet Randy and his Team. Fun sharing this collection with you, Lou
Thanks for posting, Lou. Another great survivor, and another sneak peek at Randy's Mopar treasure trove.
Hi Ray, Happy to share this car with you. You're welcome. Stay tuned, we'll have more from Randy's collection in the future :-) Lou
I really miss the styling and experience of cars like this. But thankfully I only need to visit your channel. Thanks Lou!
Hi Brian SD, You're right 1) Great styling & 2) You're on the right Channel for the cars we both enjoy looking at :-) My pleasure sharing with you. Glad you're along for the ride. You're welcome, Lou
What a nice, rare, and original American classic. Super nice. Thanks for sharing guys.
Hi Bruce H., Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Beautiful shape considering the age of the car. Nice find Lou. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Marcus, Happy to read you enjoy the shape of this car based on it's age :-) You're welcome, Lou
Hello Lou, other than *fantastic* right now, can't think of another word for this gem..
Thanks for getting to show us the best
Hello Juan, Fantastic is a good word for this gem :-) You're welcome. Glad you're along for the ride, Lou
As always thanks for posting yet another excellent Mopar video, Lou! The '57 Chrysler 300C is a classic car and it surely has a stylish look that sets it apart from other 1957 automobiles!
Hi JackFlemingFan, Happy to read you enjoy this "classic" :-) My pleasure sharing this Mopar with you. You're welcome, Lou
GREETINGS. From Venezuela, Very IMPRESSIVE CHRYSLER 300C CONVERTIBLE. Mr. Lou, Thank you very much for showing us this WONDERFUL SURVIVOR CONVERTIBLE. Mr. Lou, It will be a lot of fun to restore this GREAT SURVIVOR CONVERTIBLE. ........................Mr. Lou, As always an EXCELLENT AUTOMOBILE VIDEO.
Greetings Alejandro, Happy to read you find this car "IMPRESSIVE" :-) My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
Okay. I'm in love. Just watched Neil Young on Letterman talking about alternative fuel for a finned Lincoln. This car is gorgeous. All the way. I mean life is a convertible. Randy what a find. Bench seats. Immediately I was hoping the top worked and it does. Beaming this to friends around the world. Oh I'd love to parallel park this or back in next to some, er, cars from elsewhere. Got fins? Yes. Need cat eye white framed sunglasses and a Grace Kelly scarf to wrap around my head for the cruise. 6 or 7 friends with me.
Hi Gail, High praise for this car :-) Lou
Lou , you're such a tease.... always saving the engine till near the end when I'm saying from the beginning..."Open the darn hood"..."I wanna see if it's got dual carbs"!
I'm currently taking apart a set of DeSoto 341 heads for a valve job and I'm getting to old to be lifting those early Hemi heads...and the 392 heads are the heaviest... almost gives me a hernia just thinking about it.
What a great survivor car! Thanks for showing us.
P.S. The valve covers say "Fire Power"... the DeSoto Hemi's were Fire Domes and the Dodge's, Red Ram's.
Hi Gods own Drunk, Sometimes I do the front / engine first, and sometimes the back / truck first. Usually depends on how the car is parked. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Wow this guy has some great cars. Am always impressed with your manners asking to touch or open parts of the car. Thank you
Hi Will, Happy to read "Wow this guy has some great cars & Am always impressed with your manners asking to touch or open parts of the car." :-) My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome. Good news! All of Randy's cars will be featured, so stay tuned, Lou
That's a As Is KEEPER!

Hi Scott, Happy to share this "KEEPER" with you :-) Lou
Any time Lou.
Keep them comin.
Other than the push button gearshift I love this car. Thanks Lou.
Hi Mike, Happy to read "I love this car" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Have loved the 300C ever since my across the street friend's uncle rolled up in a brand new one in 1957, shocked one 10 year old I tell you!
Hi Sam, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Friends Uncles car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Since this video was done, the car is now in perfect running and driving condition again!!😃

inFINitley outstanding beautiful 😀 Thanks Randy for sharing with Lou's great community
Hi Terry M, High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou
Always watching Lou, thanks so much for the ride!
Glad you're along for the ride specs :-) You're welcome!
When I was a college student in the 1980s my landlady, who was from Baltimore, said her husband bought a Chrysler 300C convertible new in 1957, in the same color, white. She never liked it because "it was just too powerful." They traded in a Chrysler Town and Country woody convertible, which was a bit more sedate. She had pictures of the cars too and she was driving a Barracuda then.
Hi Jonathan NC, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Landlady from Baltimore Husbands car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Amazing true survivor 300-C! Unusual to see the 120 mph speedo instead of the 150 mph speedo installed in most of the 300-Cs and Letter Car years - from the first 1955 C300s thru the 1963 300-Js. This is one of those few 300-Cs that came down the assembly line when the 150 speedo wasn't in stock. I love Randy's comment - being afraid of the car - because it's such a wonderful survivor.
Hi Noel, Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Lou
Lou, I forgot to mention THE BRAKE LIGHTS. When someone in front of me brakes I want to know it. Some of these other, er, um, others I'm thinking are they braking? Are they backing up? And you know I think that dust and dirt saved the original top: look at archeological digs. I know I had a new roof put on. The design! Not a MOPAR family, never met one :-) ,but this is fabulous. Put a couple of people in the trunk to sneak into things without paying. Never mind The Stooges and the pods. Heavens! Cleaning those old dashboards with Q-tips. Forget it. I'd love to see it when it's on the road. Got fins? You betcha.
Gail, Happy to read your comment and glad you think "this is fabulous" :-) Lou
1957 was a very good year for cars.
Agree
*Hi Lou, how are you doing? Thank you for another great video! I like this car it looks elegant and a diamond in the rough!*
Hi Aelita, Good when I'm around cars :-) Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Love the lone Chev hiding in the corner; great review, beautiful survivor. Might need a can of compression someday.
Hi Steve, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this Survivor :-) That lone Chevy is going to come out of the corner on a future episode, so stay tuned, Lou
Hi Lou That is just one Amazing 300C or do I say C300 what a beautiful car and the condition is something you would not believe considering how long it was stored, I have a 2007 300c that I purchased from new Nothing like your Great looking Chrysler, but I just love mine If I am anywhere near you I would love to look at your Collection of great Real cars, just keep on doing what you do to preserve history, Thank you for your view on Utube

Love the scale model on the dash too!!
Nice touch :-)
That's a great project car it's in great shape for its age
Hi Larry, Happy to read your comment on this car :-) Lou
My favorite 50s Mopar Lou convertables are going for big money 💰
Happy to read this is a favorite for you Darren :-)
It's interesting that the car has a 120 mph speedometer, instead of the 150. Wayne Graefen's 300C Handbook says that some 300Cs did come with 120s. So it probably left the factory that way.
Hi Ron, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
The man has taste!
Agree
Beautiful car😍! Thanks Lou!
Hi motorTranz, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) My pleasure sharing this Survivor with you. You're welcome, Lou

@@loucostabile Done! Thanks Lou.
Thanks Lou
You're welcome Mr. Fruity Pebbles
JUST AMAZING
:-)
It's the cam shaft profile,, not any mechanical problem. That is how it should sound. A little fussy about it's first breathes,, normal. I do believe it's called the
""Firedome". That model is the dual four barrel job,, and cammed with the hotter cam,, and a modified torque flite. A true gentleman's hot rod. Finding oem items can be done.

Taillight’s are fabulous, Love the black top as well it looks great with the top up! It started great? Wow wonder what he payed for it???
Hi Paul, Happy to read the details you enjoy :-) No idea on what someone pays, I don't ask, Lou
Great to see a rare survivor original like this. Unusual 120 speedo versus standard 150's which my 3 had and oversize generator may have been special ordered that size usually for cars only with air. Wish you were closer so I could visit with you Randy thanks for saving the mopars. Maybe you could posted utube videos of 300's winning races. I have spent entire afternoon looking for one even though they won. ,40 races in 55 and 56 there are only winning Ford Chevy and Buick videos. these cars are supposedly stock that race your trying tell me that stock Buicks with valves the size of lawnmowers and ,265 Chevys and 272 ford's outrun stock 300's. Yeah right

Fantastic!!
Happy to read "Fantastic!!" :-)
Wow, nice find Lou! This guy could be my neighbor in Mn. Were you in Mpls?
Hi Andy, Happy to receive a "Wow" from you. Yes, I took a few days in MN to video this collection, and a quick ride to North Branch for a few more, Lou
Pretty beast, I would like to see it after restoration.
Hi John, I think this one is going to be mechanically updated, however stay in original condition. Stay tuned, there is a 1957 Black 300C coming up that is restored, and I think you'll like that one :-) Lou
DON'T RESTORE THIS CAR!!!!👿💥😭
Thanks for your comment John but this car will not get restored while under my ownership.
excellent!!
Hi Leighton Farms, Happy to read "excellent!!" :-) Lou
Rear reminds me of Chrysler Windsor
Thank you for sharing what you notice.
Just the right amount of patina too.....
You're right.
Nice 😀
:-)
The condition of the paint would drive me nuts, but they are only original once and it would probably subtract from the value.
Hi Dave, Randy seems to have enough perfect paint jobs in the area, so I can understand the interest in keeping this one as is. Lou
Lou,
Please tell Randy I want to spend a week sleeping in his garage! You major sin; You didn’t film THE DOOR JAMS!! Uhhhg! You never get to see them with their paper tags in the jams! Thx again Lou!
David, Randy reads the comments. He'll probably set up a mattress :-) You're welcome, Lou
@@loucostabile Tell him I’ll bring the gas!
Ted at Ted's tuna boats had a 57 300 hard top for 25,000 u.s
Nice!
Still sounds pretty healthy though!!
Nice :-)
Love The Stooges too..NYUK NYUK NYUK!!
NICE !
You have competition on this car....another TH-cam dude featured this same car.
Happy to read this car is featured two times on TH-cam.

Talvez es porque ya me estoy viniendo a viejo me raspo la cabeza con el marco de la puerta de mi Impala y me acordaba de este modelo de Chrysler 300, que tiene la virtud de girar la butaca para ayudar a sentarse dentro del auto Ay mi Chevy Si encuentro un 300 .Te cambio por el .
Hi Juan, Hope you're behind the seat (stationary or swivel) of the right car for you soon, Lou
