Ray B. ◊ 2009-05-08 18:00	It's really hard to tell, but it seems to have the 1957 grille.
Commander 57 ◊ 2011-09-21 15:48	The grille was the same in '57 and '58. No way to confirm year from view shown. Leaving as '57 as first of 2 possible years.
thechryslerexpert ◊ 2014-05-02 03:35	I know this is late but you can tell from the above views. The placement of the dash mirror indicates this a 1958. Meaning it is a 1958 Chrysler 300D. Not a C.
