[Chrysler300] 1960 300 with 3 wheels

["Don Warnaar" <300country@xxxxxxx>]

To All,

I bought a very used 1974 Dodge Dart a number of years ago just for a car that could be taken anywhere.  When working on it one time, I jacked up the back and put jack stands under the frame.  Then jacked up the front and also put stands under it.  Went to work on the car and noticed that there was a space above one of the stands at the rear of the car.  It literally was suspended on three points, and it was a two-door hardtop.  The body was that structurally sound.

  300 Members,
   
      I remember seeing this car going through Chelsea  with the left front 
  driver's wheel missing. I asked my father about it as he was  a Chrysler engineer 
  working at the proving grounds there. The car had a skid arm  placed under 
  the suspension to prevent the front of the car from hitting the  pavement when 
  braking hard. As to the amount of weight to counter balance the  car I do not 
  know.
   
      The trick had everything to do with the new  unibody strength of the new 
  cars. As I recall the car was white and could drive  down the street at normal 
  speeds. A slow braking stop would not drop the front  end at all.
   
      Rather strange seeing this vehicle run around the  town.
