300G SERIES - (8-CYL) - The 30OG was still considered a part of the high-performance market by those who appreciated brute horsepower in a luxury automobile. Its styling mirrored the minor styling changes found in the other 1961 Chryslers. The grille insert was 300 through-and-through and the lower rear quarter panel molding and red-white-blue medallion continued for the fifth continuous model year. Ram manifolding (long type) continued as standard fare. A few cars were built with threespeed standard shift. Some cars were built with the short-ram, high-output engine.

300G SERIES I.D. NUMBERS: Serial numbers and motor numbers were located in the same positions as on previous series. Serial numbers on the Detroit built cars began with 8413-100001 and up.
