Golden Lion Grrrages
1962 Chrysler 300 H Convertible
|
Chrysler built 123 H convertibles. About 50 survive today.
This one is Gil Cunningham's car. Here is a story he wrote in 1990 about
his early adventures with this car. These adventures would continue for another 30 years
as Gil and Carol and the H attended many Chrysler 300 Club International meets.
Gil was an enormous supporter and influencer of the club. To
give you an idea, you can read his tribute here.
Gil passed in 2022 and the car remained in Tallahassee until it came to Golden Lion Grrrages in 2025.
This car will always be Gil Cunningham's car no matter who owns it.
