[Chrysler300] Famous letter Cars

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

I remember commenting a couple of years ago that I had seen a coral F or G
rag in the 1961 Bob Hope Lana Turner movie-Bachelor in Paradise.  Others
chimed in with spottings as you have listed.

The car was driven by a very sexy Janis Paige and showed up in several
scenes with top down (the car, not Janis).  I think all the cars in the
movie were MoPars--a marketing tool often used by the majors in the movies
and TV--notably, The Dukes of Hazzard.

C-300'ly,
Rich Barber
Brentwood, CA (40 miles east of San Francisco-not Paradise, but very nice
today)
1955 C-300

C.T.C.I.  [small T-Birds]  maintains a list of movies where small T-Birds
have appeared, from 1955 to the present, and the list seems endless.  Also,
Birds that were owned by famous people;  Frank Sinatra, Jane Wyman, Conway
Twitty, Don Sutton, etc.  Is there any such history on Letter Chryslers?  I
met Robert Horton at the 1975 meet in Anaheim, and he still had the copper C
convertible that he purchased new.  Where are he, and/or the car today?  We
all probably remember the black C convertible in the TV series "Crime
Story".  Who owns it?  What about the white C convertible in the movie "Quiz
Show"?  That was a real beauty. 

I have been told that my car was used in the movie "Imitation Of Life", but
have never been able to verify  that.  I purchased it from the 2nd owner in
Culver City, just a few blocks from the old MGM studio lot.  He told me that
the original owner purchased it in Beverly Hills, and was prominent in the
movie industry, [Producer, Director ???]  and owned it from 1957-1962.  I
remember seeing a C convertible in an old black and white Perry Mason re-run
a few years ago, and wondered if perhaps it was mine.

Anyone have anything to add?
