1. What was the name of the concept built around 2001 that predated the (concept and production) 300C's styling?

2. What was Willam Durant's middle name?

3. What concept car was supposed to be built in the AMC Gremlin's place?

Photos required for Question 1 and Question 3. Good luck.

Was this too difficult? C'mon. Someone has to know at least one of those three questions.

Two is correct. Good job WMJ.

Now, as for the other two, here are hints.

Hint for Question 1: The Chronos predated this styling study made before the Concept 300C.

Hint for Question 3: This car used the AMX moniker. (That is a dead giveaway with some research.)

I think the '72 Ford Torino was what the 300 is based on.

I think you mean the 300 Hemi C Convertible from 2000 for Q1.

I thought this was pretty sweet when it came out.

Harley nailed Question 3 in his second post.

As for Question 1, I was thinking of a sedan...

If it's the concept I'm thinking of, it's rarely seen (at least by me). It looks a lot like the production car though. I can't think of the name of it.

I love most retro and LOVE hardtops but this one never

grew on me much. Too goofy and cartoonish. Not a

very flattering reinterpretation of the 1950s at all.

Oh, and also: Crapo is correct. No joke, I'm sure WMJ knows this

but I thought I'd mention that for those who might think he was

just being sarcastic.

Nope, Sixty-8. I wasn't thinking of the Hemi-8, although it was a precursor to the Magnum.

Blu-man is on the right track. Now, if someone could just find at least the name, they'd have the question correct...

Hmm.. How About the Chronos?

That Chronos is still a stunning design.

Chronos has certainly stood the test of time. Ha. A stunner, and exactly what the new Imperial should be, if it is built.

I am going to be so pissed when this question is answered because it is on the tip of my tongue.

The Chronos as the Imparial? Great idea O.B.

I'd much rahter see that than the Imperial

concept... That thing is fugly.

I'm with you there Sixty8- Chronos is sublime, the concept Imperial is fairly awful.

>>"Oh, and also: Crapo is correct. No joke..."<<

I was under this false impression, too, but the name is pronounced "Cray-po".

Chronos has certainly stood the test of time.  Ha.  A stunner, and exactly what the new Imperial should be, if it is built.
