The customized '60 Imperial that Gloria awarded began life with a steel top. I forget if the owners said it was built as a 2- or 4-door. With its top removed, no convertible guts were added. Don't know about chassis reinforcements. Owners carry around a clear plastic tarp to cover this car if/when it rains, but said it never sees rain. I'm not sure of that, since we had some rain every day in Carlisle.
 
Chad Coulter's black F convertible looked great under the Survivors' Tent. We first saw Chad bring this car to our May 2023 Hershey Spring Meet hosted by Hank Hallowell.
 
And parked next to Chad's F was a sparkling black '60 Windsor 4-door sedan, showing 7,600 original miles! A couple photos attached - note the Windsor's trunk ledge displaying its rarely seen early production outboard drain tubes - look closely at the trunk photo.
 
Speaking of Hank, on Wednesday he hosted about 100 of the WPC Club attendees at Hershey's AACA Museum, enlisting all the Museum's docent volunteers to lead small groups of us around the Museum and its overflow storage building. Hank also graciously hosted lunch for the group. Then he opened his 3 buildings that housed his mostly Mopar car collection. Hank displayed his magnificent '31 Chrysler Imperial CG Waterhouse Victoria (1 of 3 known out of 6 built) and his '60 Imperial Ghia Limo that was NY Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's back in the day - both in the Expo Center featuring the Chrysler 100 cars. Hank also had on display his red '70 Challenger R/T SE 440 SixPack, yellow/white '57 Firedome coupe and white survivor '61 Polara 4-door sedan with 383 Ram Inducted beauty. 
 
Kudos also to Bill and Marilyn Allen, who trailered their '56 Petty Tribute 2-door sedan, deck lid autographed by Richard and Maurice Petty, from their Alamogordo, NM home. We first saw this amazing '56 back in '14 when Bill and Marilyn hosted our Fall Meet out there. Their yellow Prowler kept the '56 company in their 2-level trailer towed cross-country behind their motorhome.
 
To Gloria's comment that none of the three of us 300 Club officers made a speech, even though I had exchanged emails with WPC President, Bill Adams pre-Carlisle, neither I nor any of the other of us officers were asked to speak.
 
I have plenty more photos - can provide to Bob Merritt for his next E-News, if requested.

Hi Charlie,
This is what I have so far:
 
Chryslers at Carlisle 2025

It was hot and steamy but it did not stop the 300s and club members from coming.  300s were all over the field, some by the club tent, one in the Survivor tent, some in the vendor areas and some in the Exhibition Hall across the street. Of note - Larry Jett’s old red C-300 signed by Tim Flock, on the dash, was front and center. Chrysler’s CEO gave a speech saying a new 300 is in the works.  Three of our attending club officers did not give a speech.  Well over 50 of us from CA, FL, Canada, Sweden and places between dropped by, pulled up a chair and enjoyed the company.  The Club tent is a real life saver from the sun and showers, Many thanks to our Chryslers at Carlisle Club Manager, Charlie Valentine.  He makes everything easy for us.  

We gained 3 new club members including our youngest to join at 7 years old.  
C-300, 300 C, 300 F, 300 G, 300 K and Hursts were on the field.  Special thanks to Chad Coulter for bringing his survivor 300F convertible this year. Hope he takes it out of the Survivor “tent-jail” so he can hang out with the group next year.  Parts for our cars were not readily available except for a few here and there.  We had vendors who are in the club so orders made before hand were delivered avoiding postage fees.

300 Letter Series Awards went to: 
1st Place - 300G Owned by George Zuk
2nd Place - 300F Owned by Noel Hastalis - Noel also won a Celebrity Pick from the 300M Enthusiasts Club
3rd Place - 300K Owned by John Plosila
 
The Celebrity Pick that I choose was a 1960 Imperial Custom, owned by Richard Schultz. This car was Magnificent. The workmanship was Amazing.
