[Chrysler300] C300's on parade.

["Richard Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

I have seen an identical additional bumper guard on a '55 C-300 belonging to
a member in Iowa--that car happens to be the very first one I saw when I was
17.  Pictures attached for the individuals and available to the curious.

It appears to be identical to the pieces bolted to the Windsor front bumper
as standard.  The ad did indicate it was an optional piece, probably from a
dealer.  While it does add some protection to those beautiful 300/Imperial
grilles, it also covers them up somewhat and detracts from the simplistic
beauty of the lines of the C-300, IMHO.  The front bumper guards on C-300's
appear to be unique to the C-300, but are similar to the notched pieces used
to hold the horizontal bar on the Windsors and to the un-notched inner
bumper guards on Imperials.  The Imperial bumper guard does not include the
horizontal piece.

The red car shows a 25/Tango red paint code and the VIN tag, fender tag and
engine s/n stamp look authentic, but someone painted the top white and added
New Yorker side trim and white spear to the sides.  I've heard of New
Yorkers cloned into 300's, but never vice-versa.

Gloria/Gil:
These may be grist for the registry.  
White car on ebay: 320440567328 3N551039  
Red car:  ebay: 260496325803	3N552225

There is some indication the club may have run the authentication on one or
both cars.

C-300'ly,
Rich Barber
