[Chrysler300] 300C Tail light lenses: The Source

["L.Andrew Jugle" <lajugle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Way back in the 70's sometime, when we were trying to MERGE the two clubs, I had found some tail light lenses. Glo-Brite was a division of of Dietz, a company that had it made for years making railroad lanterns and traffic lights.  They had a warehouse close and loaded all the remaining stock into skid boxes and auctioned.  A local entrapennuer had bought them for his "Junque Shop" and put them on sale at $ .25 each.  There were four or five 4' X 4' x 4' skid boxes FULL of mixed tail lights.  Harry Ewert and I  crawled thru them and got about 100 sets of '57 tail light sets, mostly in yellow boxes. I called Paul Dietz (fellow grad of Parsons) and got skinny on why they were there.

We offered a deal to BOTH 300 clubs for 30 or 40 sets each, at a price of ( I belive) $ 1.00 a PAIR.   The rest is history.

The remains of them we retained.  I still have about 10 pair!   

The warehouse cleaned out was a supply house for Western Auto.
