Rondo ◊ 2011-02-19 01:32	However, Chrysler products were heavily promoted in this film, and the company provided many of the cars. They used the big screen to expose their top models (e.g. Imperial convertible and 440 Dodge convertible). Thus, rarity is less of an issue; it could be an H.
CougarTim ◊ 2011-07-22 00:41	The H came standard with tan leather bucket seats, which this car has, and this "caramel" color is one of only four colors the H was offered in. However, both the seats and the color were available on regular 300s as well. I also agree with MoparGeorge about the wheelcovers; I think the H had a unique design that this car appears to lack.
