Re: [Chrysler300] Re: OEM vs. Glo-Brite

["Wayne Graefen" <wgraefen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Glo-Brite was not an OEM assembly line supplier.  All the cars left the factory with "CHRCH" tail lamp lenses in them in '57 which had been supplied by Auto-Lite.  

A few years later (I have no idea how many years) Mopar parts started carrying the Glo-Brites in their packaging as replacements.  

For judging purposes any '57 Chrysler should have "CHRCH" lenses in it in my opinion and I have stated so in my C Handbook from its inception, however I will defer to the opinion of the Head Judge, Gil Cunningham, should he differ.

So based on this information, it sounds like Glo-Brite was a vendor for 
Chrysler and the CY-3/4 lenses would/should be considered OEM correct even 
by the club's concours standards. Any thoughts ?
