Chrysler 300 Letter Limerick

There was a 300 just plain
The top of the pack was its aim
With 300 horses
It suffered no losses
A victory was its right claim.

There was a 300 named B
Its fins took the spotlight you see
But the front had the engine
A big hemi ragin'
And that was the feature to heed.

There was a 300 named C
That made people jump with great glee
Its styling was clean
It looked long, low, and lean
A treasure to drive and to see.

There was a 300 named D
It retained the great lines of the C
Its horses were higher
Anymore you might fly 'er
More road pleasure just couldn't be.

There was a 300 named E
It had something quite new don't you see
For the hemi was gone
And the wedge came along
But it moved right along brave and free.

There was a 300 named F
Its engine had plenty of heft
Ram induction was there
It supercharged fuel and air
A carb was on right and on left.

There was a 300 named G
With headlights diagonally
Its grille was inverted
But it sure still asserted
Its handling and power ably.

There was a 300 named H
Four inches were off its wheelbase
The fins were gone too
But performance reigned true
The Flying Mile was done with great haste.

There was a 300 named J
Its performance was really OK
But its image was different
Comfort and luxury were evident
A record few Js made their way.

There was a 300 named K
It retained the same lines as the J
With the convertible back
Many sales were a fact
Record production the K could relay.

There was a 300 named L
Its body was new and quite swell
The grille had a running light
But the end was now in sight
With the L came the Letters' farewell.
