That 1970 Chrysler 300 is pretty rare if it’s the Hurst model. Huge car, very long.

Yep, you got it.....that is the Hurst model.

High-performance versions of full-size cars, at that time, were nowhere near as popular as those of compacts and mid-sized. Perhaps the closest competitor of the Chrysler 300 was the Mercury Marauder.

That's what I thought at first, too, but then changed my mind. I may be wrong, but upon a closer look, the dim and faded view of the dash inside doesn't look like that of a Bentley, the outer-front headlights on a Bentley are circular rather than the chopped-off look in the image, and the roof-fairing behind the side window is not shaped like that of a Continental.

It may (?) be a Volvo Polestar, but I'm not sure.

You guys always impress me. You are correct.. That is a Polestar 1! I've never seen one of these on the road, but I've now seen 3 of them at Hertz as a premium rental. I've got a boat load of points to use at Hertz so I may grab one for fun one day.
