Re: [Chrysler300] To the Sticklers

I still remember the Dodge logo with the Forwardlook insignia hanging over the band on The Lawrence Welk Show on Saturday nights! It was the only thing that could sustain me watching Mr. Welk with the family until Leave It To Beaver came on afterwards! Now as an adult, I love listening to Lawrence Welk songs and seeing old shows and use Beaver Cleaver as part of a password for various computer applications (Pun Intended)! My how priorities change! 300’ly, Rob Kern

Hi, Don—

Did they call them that, though in 55? I remember 57 as when Chrysler ads said that..and the cars meant it. With the two interlocked triangles, or V’s Was it used by them before 57?

I remember vividly how sharp a 57 dodge hardtop looked, when first I saw it ---and it kept getting better. To me the Regal Lancer trim package, in copper and black, or copper and white was just beautiful (58) ..and 57 300C. Some cars from brand X pretty good too 57 Ford Sunliner, 60 Buick Electra 225 bucket seat convert (I have one of those..the 300F real competitor—and the only GM I ever really went for) . 53 stude hardtop coupe had all those covered pretty well too, 4 years before.. But I personally identify that wording as 57..and I well may be wrong!!

To all the Sticklers our there (and that is meant as a compliment),

Another error made by some members of the automotive press is about the introductory year of THE FORWARD LOOK.

Some references say 1956 is the year, perhaps because of the addition of the fins to all the Chrysler Corp. cars. Others say 1957 because of the dramatic changes to the styling. The correct year is 1955. That is when the first cars fully designed by Virgil Exner made their debut.

So here's to 1955 and the cars of THE FORWARD LOOK.

Jack,

If your comment was addressed to me I guess I'd be a "Stickler". I strongly believe in getting the facts and stating them correctly.

Respectfully,

John Lazenby, the "Stickler"
