Re: [Chrysler300] 2015 Diamond Jubilee- 60 At The 60th

John,

 

I know you have a vast knowledge of mid-50s Chryslers, certainly more than almost anyone else, but I have seen the old logo on the center hub of the steering wheel on a 300B manual trans. car.  I wouldn't think somebody would have changed it.  If fact, I wondered why it was there when Chrysler had dropped it several years earlier.  I asked Gil Cunningham at the time and he told me they used the old steering wheel on the manual car but none of the others.  Maybe Gil can chime in on this one.

 

I also wouldn't doubt the '54 was different from the '53.  The '53 was the last to have the emblem on the outside also.  So they obviously fazed out the logo at the end of the '53 model year.  And that of course meant the 300s beginning with the first did not have it.

 

Don

The horn button between 1953 and 1954 differed in appearance.  1953 was the last of what Don is describing.

 

On the '55 and '56 Chryslers there is a chrome piece attached to the dash that covers over the top of the steering column.  If you remove that piece you will see the opening to accommodate the shift rod for a manual trans car.

 

The stick shift cars for both 1955 and 1956 used the 1955 left dash panel.  There are three pieces that make up the dash on both years.
