1962 Chrysler 300 in the Charles Kee Collection

The next car we are featuring looks like it was one of Charles Kee’s personal cars he wanted to keep. It is a 1962 Chrysler 300 2-door with a big block engine. This is a really nice car, and like many others, Charles Kee put blankets over the dash and seats to preserve them from the desert sun.

Neglected Field Find: Five 1962 Chryslers

We just found these five 1962 Chrysler’s in Bellingham, Washington.  Not sure why somebody would let these things sit in a swampy area for 15 years but it happened.  We just saved these from going to the crusher and the cars are:

  • 1962 Chrysler 300H
  • 1962 Chrysler 300 Sport 413 2 Door Hardtop
  • 1962 Chrysler 300 2 Door Hardtop with a 383
  • 1962 Chrysler Newport that is an original black car
  • 1962 Chrysler New Yorker 4 Door

See more pictures below.  What would you do with these?  They are pretty rough.
