  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.
  300ly, Gil

  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.
