Re: [Chrysler300] 300 D serial number

["Gloria Moon" <agmoon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ron,
Since you know the history of the car since 1959-60, you are then looking 
for the original owner and possibly another one before your family took 
ownership.  I'd suggest that you carefully look through all your family 
records for the name of the person you bought the car from.  Did your family 
take out a loan?  Is that bank still open?  Would there be a dusty piece of 
paper with a bill of sale somewhere?  Or an old registration card in the 
glove box?   We were researching fuel injected 300Ds some years ago and were 
amazed at what people kept in the gloveboxes.

 If you have no luck there, perhaps you know in which state your family 
bought the car.  Depending upon the state in this post 9/11 world, you might 
be able to talk with the local DMV in person with your title in hand and ask 
them if they have a history of your car.  I know we were able to do this in 
MD at one time, but all the old records have been shipped somewhere for 
"safe keeping".  (That's government speak for - go away and don't bother 
us.)

About the only thing Gil Cunningham can discern about your car's history are 
the options it came with and the date and location and name of the dealer 
who took possession of it when it left the factory.  Not many of those 
dealers are still around, but it should point you to a state of origin at 
least.

You're lucky in that you know most of your D's history - more than most. 
Let us know how your search goes.

  We are new to Club, attended the May meet in Tenn. We own a 300D and

  car can be traced to original owner. Perhaps via VIN number?
