The color is Cool Vanilla.
And the location is... yes, Times Square at night - one of the Photo Travel locations in GT4.
Times Square, N.Y., is the "center of Noo Yawk New York where 7th Avenue and Broadway meet, a major tourist and business center".
Winner of the prestigious North American Car of the Year award in 2005, the Chrysler 300 was one of those very rare cars that carried over all of its interesting looks and details from the concept show car directly to the production model.
Produced on the same LX platform as the Dodge Magnum, Challenger, and Charger models, 300 initially came in four trim levels: the base 300, 300 Touring, 300 Limited, and 300C. The base car was powered by a 187 HP 2.7-liter DOHC V-6, while the Touring and Limited models possessed a larger 247 HP 3.5-liter DOHC V-6. The performance-oriented 300C sported a potent 5.7-liter OHV Hemi V-8, which was not only powerful, it was also economical, thanks to its fuel-saving and emission-reducing cylinder deactivation technology. In low-road operations such as steady-state cruise, the engine would operate on only 4 cylinders instead of the full complement of 8. Then slightly after the 300's introduction came the ultimate 300 came later, the 6.1-liter Hemi V-8-powered SRT8.
A respectably-sized vehicle at 196.8 inches long and 74.0 inches wide, the 300's front fascia and overall design somewhat resembled that of the high-dollar Bentley Arnage from England. The car was also known for its robust build quality as many of its major components were shared with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class of the day, the benefactor of the Daimler-Chrysler merger.
Oops, that's not the Chrysler - it's a Ford Crown Vic taxi below.
This is what Times Square must have looked like prior to 2004.
Another Ford Crown Vic taxi... which I think have gone the way of the Checker Marathon now.
