RE: {Chrysler 300} Fwd: 1957 Chrysler 300C video

But then it would be just another concourse 300C convertible….. rather than being unique. Seriously, I would look at the likely return on the investment before deciding.

I had a weird experience today. Took my 78 Chrysler wagon to the supermarket and when I returned with the groceries I noticed a middle aged guy leaning on a car opposite staring at my car. As I was putting the groceries in the back the guy said he was just admiring my car. From where he was he could see the rust holes in the door and the dents in the rear guard and tailgate. We had a few words back and forth. He thought it must be expensive ???? - but I did wash it yesterday and the chrome was shining in the sun. When I came back from returning the trolley he was still staring at it. I said I hope it doesn’t blow smoke when it starts (sometimes does if it is hot) and he said he was waiting to see (ha). Luckily it didn’t.

Can’t speak to his mental state but it seems some people just admire old survivors that still get used to go to the shops. If it was restored, I wouldn’t be parking it at the supermarket!

Cheers

Henry

Just IMHO, I would take very detailed pictures along with a video evidencing the complete originality and then restore to concours condition. I’m aware there will be adverse reactions but just saying.

Thanks,

As you noted the 120 MPH Speedometer, (mistakes were often made.) What's up with the toggle switch and red light on the left side of the dash ? Just wondered.

Thanks,

Here's a new video of our Club member friend Randy Guyer's all original 300-C convertible - with a little Cold War history discussion intertwined. I'm sure you'll notice the 120 mph speedo in the dash instead of the typical 150 mph speedo - assuming this C rolled off the assembly line this way.

Those of us that attended the Fall 2019 Minneapolis Meet that Randy hosted will remember seeing this convertible, still wearing its 35+ year accumulation of dust from sitting silent in a warehouse all those years near Milwaukee.

A newly posted video [from Two Guys and a Ride] of my 1957 Chrysler 300C convertible. A bit long at around 25 minutes but I think/hope you’ll find it interesting, informative, and entertaining.
