“It doesn’t matter what age group you’re in — the 300 is a car you can customize to fit you, or you can leave it as it is,” he said. “We’ve owned ours about a month and haven’t found a single thing we don’t like, so there’s nothing we want to change.” Leonard and Chaney like the look of the 300’s interior, which includes such “retro” touches as an analog clock and a classic dashboard design. “The interior has the look of the older cars and the comfort of the new ones,” Leonard said.

“There is also a lot of room in both the front and back.” He praised the appearance and comfort of the car’s leather upholstery. Leonard and Chaney also like the Sirius satellite radio feature of the car’s audio system. “I like the jazz stations, and she enjoys the classic rhythm and blues,” he said.

“There is an excellent variety of programming, with talk shows, sports and every kind of music.” The broad appeal of the Chrysler 300 has made it one of the company’s best selling cars, said Rock Fuqua, owner of Fuqua Chrysler Dodge Jeep. “The 300 has become the ‘flagship’ car of our line,” he said. “Buyers like the car’s appearance and value, and the reliability has been excellent, as well.” Leonard Gross’s 300 sedan is not his first Chrysler.

A Chrysler employee who retired after 36 years at the New Castle plant, he has bought Chryslers for decades. He has stuck with the same dealer, as well: Gross said a good experience buying a Chrysler Cordoba 30 years ago at Fuqua began his long association with the Dunkirk dealership. “I felt at home there from the first moment I walked through the door,” he said.
