Re: {Chrysler 300} 300F Air Cleaner



As far as I know, in 1960, Chrysler and Plymouth used gold air cleaners and Dodge and DeSoto used red. The exception for Chrysler is the 4 speed cars used red ones and the bases had a longer stud to accommodate the taller filter element.

I doubt the chrome air cleaners ever came from the factory. I don't have any vintage photos of the Ziegler car showing the engine though.

Jim,

I've seen some ram Dodges and Plymouths with red air cleaners, but recall only one 300-F. Attached photos -
  • Joe Jordan's Pont-a-Mousson 4-speed F coupe from our 300 Club Fall 2016 Elkhart Lake Meet, with red air cleaners.
  • Gregg Ziegler's Speed Weeks 4-speed F coupe has chromed air cleaners. We speculated on whether this was a dealer-installed dresws-up kit, but don't recall any conclusion. Attached photo is from an auction site. These are the air cleaners on that car when I saw it a couple times before it hit the auction circuit. The body and interior of this very low mile F was all original when I was parked next to it, including its Blue Streak spare in the trunk and 6-point harness fitted for Gregg when he raced it. 
  • Iola 2014 - a friend's '60 ram 383 Matador wagon
Both of these photos show the red air cleaners as having been restored, and not wearing the Forward Look emblem.

I always thought my car was complete but now as I am restoring and asking questions I am wondering where my air cleaners came from!  They are red and don't look like a repaint as they have a logo on them.  

Anybody have any thoughts on what I have?
