Hi Again:
Boy, do I feel embarrased!!!  Just looked at the video again  (can't resist 
looking at those 1957s).  The 300C is obviously (not to  me, apparently) a 
HARDTOP!!!!  So much for my 300C#1  theory.

Thanks  for the video, John.  Great shots of what I might assume is  300C  
#1.  
(Don't know date of the NYC Auto Show to confirm)   
Fantastic connection on Ex.  Who were the gentleman's parents,  I  
wonder?---His dad HAD to be in the automotive design business big  time.

>From   YouTube.com, some excellent shots of the 1957 Mopars, including the   
300-C.  There is a quick interview with Tex Colbert included as   well

Also, I'm selling my  mother's '88  BMW 635CSi - Yesterday, a gentleman came 
to the house to lok at  it,  saw the '59 Windsor I'm parting out, and the 
first 
thing he said was  that  Virgil Exner was best man at his parent's wedding!  
He  
also said another  designer from Raymond Loewy's staff was supposed  to be 
there, but got caught  in a storm.
