RE: {Chrysler 300} YouTube of today's GAA auction in Greensboro, NC -

Hi Rob,

The 1959 300E was originally owned by Ev and Joan Merritt of Portland, OR. It was restored by James Bennett of Tillamook, OR. Ev had the Blue leather replaced and James Bennett painted the 300E.  James Bennett, ran the body shop for a Chev dealership in Tillamook Oregon and restored many 300’s at his home workshop.  I remember a 300 that James replace the entire metal top. His wife, Barbara Bennett still has their 1957 300C Convertible. I have not seen the Bennett’s for over 20 years. Jerry & Page Schlegel are related to the Bennett’s. I called Jerry and Page Schlegel to confirm that the Blue leather was replaced.  Both the Schlegel’s and Barbara Bennett  are still members of our Club.
