RE: [Chrysler300] 1964 K convert



Harry:

 

Good questions!

 

Striping was standard on the 300K and NY Salon, only.  Two narrow stripes of slightly different widths from the front fender eyelid to near the rear of the car.  Check cars with original striping for design detail and dimensions, especially at the ends.  I’ve attached pictures of the black stripes on a white car which I believe are accurate and original.  For proper color, go to:  http://www.jholst.net/64-dealer/exterior-1.pdf         and scroll down to:  BODY STRIPING COLORS FOR SALON AND 300K for proper stripe color.  For a Formal Black 300K car with a red interior, the stripe color would be Roman Red.  Otherwise Persian White.  

 

Round steering wheels came on 1964 Chryslers with power steering and the Saginaw adjustable /tilt wheel column and on manual steering Newports and 300 Sports.  I believe the square wheel came on all other power-steering cars.  The round steering wheels for the tilt columns will not fit on any MoPar column.  I was mildly surprised at how easy the “square” wheel on our ’63 Newport was to use and get used to.  The tilt wheel on our 300K convertible works well and was used by Chrysler for several years until they developed their own.  Without a tilt wheel option until 1964, the “square” wheel offered a little more clearance for diametrically-enhanced drivers (such as me).
