![]() The car for today is the 2005 Chrysler 300 Hemi by Maisto. ![]()

![]() Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_300 for more info. ![]() ![]() Typically I don't go for the blinged castings from Maisto, but this looked too cool not to buy. The paint and tampo work is above average and the casting does have a metal base. ![]() Somewhere in this pic is a 300. ![]() |

Sir Crafty, I do have this casting in two or more colours. The novelty of the big wheels, etc. wore off quicky and I lost interest in them because they just weren't the right style for my collection. Thanks for featuring this casting. It actually looks decent in this colour. It's nice to look back. Cheers. Cobra |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

This is among the few blinged cars I have in my collection as well. The 300C is so over-the-top styling-wise that it lends itself well to being blinged. Probably the only car that looks right at home on wheels like these. |

This casting looks great in blue. It was offered in a multitude of colors, including: black ![]() white ![]() and green ![]() When these Maistos were plentiful on the pegs, I bought a couple of extras to make customs (thinking I'd bring them closer to stock someday...I still may if I ever get the time, but some added rim color is all I've gotten around to so far) ![]() Later, Maisto offered a blinged 300 C limousine ![]() Dean |

Dean, thanks for the images. I appreciate the efforts that it takes for you to make the pictures available for our viewing pleasure. As for the stretched limousines, I believe that they were a complete bust. Those things collected dust for a very long time on the pegs. I never bought one and never will. Better left in the past. Cheers. Cobra |

I liked the limos. At least they were real cars that I see used as limos- not like the M2 Stretch Rods. A Town Car limo would've rocked though! |

Swifty, while on vacation in the first part of September; we stayed in a large motor hotel that had large restricted underground parking for guests. While parked in that location, we saw between 20 and 30 stretched limousines of various makes including a couple of Hummers on our stays there. And one stretch limo of note being a white coloured approximate 1995 Chevy Tahoe. It seemed like it was 40 feet long. This was the first one I had ever seen stretched out. Certainly something unusual. Cheers. Cobra |
