Ray what I'm stating is that some early cars had no mesh grill wire in the brake ducts but those openings were red and if they did have screens they were also red. My comment regarding the "grill" is referencing the center grill of the car.

Club member Ken Mack has a very early example that has no mesh on the brake ducts, single headlights and a 120mph spedo along with a non 300C steering wheel. The VIN on Ken's car is 3N571003. This is also a 3 speed stick shift example.

Hello John -

According to Wayne Graefen's comprehensive handbook on restoring the 1957 300C (and several others that I cannot immediately attribute), I was pretty certain that the brake cooling duct inlet screens on that car were supposed to be "Buick Red" or "China Red", not any kind of silver. After 10 years of meticulously restoring my late father's 300C convertible, this is the first time I've heard of SILVER brake inlet screens. Am I missing something? Or are you NOT actually referring to the brake duct inlet screens after all - maybe referring to the big radiator grille that looks black on this car and has always been silver on all the '57 - '58 cars?

I'd say to a degree it is rare. I've seen early cars with no grill screens in the brake ducts. The grill still should be argent (silver) like the other examples in 1957-58. I do question those bumper guards and think they are NYer.

Is it safe to say this one headlight is a rare vehicle ?
