The Heritage design seen in the introduction of the 1999 Chrysler 300M, which continues the spirit of the legendary 300 Letter Series cars. Since the DaimlerChrysler merger in 1998, still more outstanding Chrysler vehicles have been developed, including the new Chrysler 300. The 1999 Chrysler 300M marked the revival of the “300” name — but with a modern twist. It was not part of the original “Letter Series,” though the “M” in its name was a tribute to the 300-letter cars.
