The 1965 300L was the final year of the traditional letter series. A complete restyle, with crisp lines, slab sides and a tall “greenhouse ”— styling cues introduced by Elwood Engel when he succeeded Virgil Exner as Chrysler’s styling boss — brought a sleek mid-1960s linear look to the cars.
Dropped was the panoramic Forward Look windshield.
The cross-ram engine was no longer available; the 413 cu in (6.8 L) engine with regular carburetion and inlet manifold were the only one supplied.
