Based on a modified 1966 Chrysler 300, the 300X prototype was filled with futuristic ideas in the cockpit. Replacing the conventional steering wheel were adjustable handgrips. The steering unit's push-button controls for lights, wipers, turn signals, and door locks were built into the steering unit. Door handles were shaved, and a keypunch card was used to open the doors and start the ignition. A truck-lid mounted TV camera and dash-mounted monitor replaced the normal rearview mirrors. Rear seat passengers could watch a small television stowed away when not in use. Famous custom car builder Gene Winfield is credited with constructing the 300X.
