Roll like Walter P: 300C Rodeo Drive Plus 6 package
Click either image for a gallery of the Chrysler 300C Rodeo Drive Plus 6.
Performance West has rolled out a stretched wheelbase blinged-out 300C with an appropriately protracted name. The W.P. Chrysler Executive Series 300C Rodeo Drive Plus 6 by Performance West pulls together the work and merchandise of several vendors to create a six-inch longer 300C for those executives who find the standard choices too boring. Nobody will be able to ignore the chrome spear down the flanks, and if they do just crank up the stereo. Mechanicals are upgraded with a Corsa cat-back exhaust and a Flex Fuel Smart system adds E85 capability to the Hemi. Coil-overs and thicker swaybars tighten up proceedings underneath, and SSBC's upgraded brakes hide behind 22-inch Sporza wheels. Inside, the seats have been retrimmed in custom leather, there's an audio system to rattle your molars and an integrated computer and communications rig, too. Look up, there's a Glassback installation by Classic Design Concepts, look down, you'll find a Hurst shifter sticking purposefully out of the console. It looks like it'd be a whole lot more fun to shuffle papers around in the rear compartment of the Plus 6 than, say, a Maybach. The whole shebang will be available for an as yet unannounced price at dealers.Thanks for the tip, David!

Well now that Lincoln is phasing out the Town Car, this could make a good alternative to the livery companies. Plus it is far more modern.

So bling, bling, for the rich? Maybe for the young and rich or for fleets I guess? Otherwise, it's a Rolls for the hood.

This piece of Chrysler ghetto dung should not even be Autoblog news worthy!
More about how the new Knight Rider FailStang is the absolute wrong car....the show will fail...etc please.
I enjoy some of the funny snide remarks.

I'll second that...soooo ghetto.
The Maybach ref was a joke, right? The only execs interested in riding in one of these things would be the ones who make shoes for gangsters, errrr, NBA players. And only at a PR event.

When ignorant jerks like you open yer mouth crap falls out.
Work down in the Wall St. area, I quite a few 300s. Escalades, Tahoes, Sububans and a few Navigators being used as executive limousines. 95% of the executive types that occupies the the back seats are, greying and or balding WHITE men.

notYou,
You must live through what you see on television.

Mr. Oak: oh, you're a racist. I never mentioned color - you did (funny how you just jumped to it, eh?).
btw - the SUVs you mentioned have practical purposes that a sedan can't serve. The only people on Wall Street getting into 300s are losers, sorry.

Blake: errr, no. I can go down to the local courts and see the same thing (or, actually, far worse).
Haven't you heard - life imitates art?

So you're saying gangsters wear tennis shoes and gang bangers wear low quarters?
It's funny how you say that this goes to a certain type of people and you don't research the person/company that made it. It's so obvious, if they didn't like it, they wouldn't make it. Need we refer to a certain public figure that got his Charger jacked whilst rolling on 22" rims payed for by the city he serves.

Can the average customer even buy a LWB? I have yet to see one in Canada.
Meh, some nice points, but overall kinda gawdy.

The WPC edition is made in both regular and LWB, and is available for order at your local dealer. The LWB is still manufactured/modified by a separate company, outsourced and not rolling down the line).

I saw this car at SEMA in the Classic Design Concepts booth. The glass roof was awesome! It really opened up the interior.

Am I the only guy who does a double take when one of these rolls by? I always think it might be a Rolls Royce until I see the gangbanger driving it and the big wings on front.

I like 300's and LX cars as a whole... I think some people on here just automatically dislike anything American.
This particular example, however.. as I said above. Meh.
Mr. Oak 11:45AM (1/07/2008)
To all the pinheads that hate on the 300, this is one of the best (classic) sedan designs to ever come out of the US. The original Seville was another. Too bad the 300 was so affordable, and accessable to so many idiots who chose to sissify such bold macho design. Sort of like a male French poodle, all groomed and primped with pink ribbons and nail polish.
On this particular car, I would love it, if it was just a little bit more understated.

true that.
the 300 is a classic. it is the real BOLD MOVE. not what ford has to offer. i think most on the road are POS with their 6 cylinder slow enjines. with the 5.7 and 6.1. its a great car.
now, who knows what it would cost and where i can get the E85 functionality on my magnum rt

I saw this on MTV last year.
It looks really nice.
I'd buy one if I had the money and the need for it.
