Not trying to rain on anyones parade, Dodge did not make the Saratoga, Chrysler did along with the Windsors, New Yorker and 300 letter sereis cars. Dodge had the Coronets, Royals and Custom Royals and maybe another name for the station wagons in 1959 The guys that spend the money to have those bodys made are very dedicated I hope it runs as good as it looks

Those are wild. I like the second one a little better because the roofline is still in proportion with the rest of the car.

The whole car still looks allot like the actual car it was modeled after, probably slower but who cares, coolness factor for keeping it looking more like an actual car make up for it.

The 300 was made here in Finland and later sold to Sweden, I was even freelance crew member at one point, great car and a great bunch of guys who built it, I wish I had the money when they sold it...

It was made in the mid 90`s and I don t remember all the details anymore... anyway, the body was all glass, one of the guys had (have) a real car, I guess they used that one for molds It was scaled down some, maybe to 7/8 and they had hell of a job with it... It had a mild steel chassis so it was only cert to 7.5, I remember we run some high 7īs with a very safe setup There has been another one here later running in pro mod,maybe from those same molds but now i m just guessing...

Every once in awhile there is a post on Moparts that contains photos that leave me speechless. This, is one of those rare moments. Thank-you, Joshking440, Chester Burnett, Mafo, and, Dart of Denmark for sharing this.

The other, more streamlined 300 is out of a different mold and the body was made in Estonia. It's also even smaller than the red one.
