[Chrysler300] Looking for help with some 300 Letter Car stats -

Hello Group,

I've pulled together a fairly comprehensive schedule of stats for our '55 - '65 + Hurst 300s, and have a few missing pieces. We're looking to have this on a board for our Macungie Meet.

Based on the various research sources I’ve found, including our Club’s archives, I’ve prepared a schedule. My unanswered questions are -

1. Engine serial number start letters/numbers for –

1962
1963
1964
1965

2. Hurst production –

Is it 502 coupes plus 1 convertible?
