Re: [Chrysler300] buzzing Hurst

["Dave Schwandt" <finsruskw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Check Year One. Maybthey have a repro part to fix this as a lot of the 
kiddie cars had the hidaway headlites as well. I'll chec my NOS parts stock 
when I get home off the road, may be I'll have one or more of them as all my 
stuff is pre-1980
