As I noted above, the VIN (serial number) is LC41156...
You can see this at the left lower corner of the tag: SRL 01156...
Only 1958 Chrysler data tags got this possibility... |

Location: So. Cal | I believe the difference in numbers quoted is due to one being the total number of cars built, and the other number being the number of cars still surviving. |

Location: So. Cal | I've never heard of the "888 trim". Can anyone explain what that is? I know about custom 999 paint, but never heard this trim number before.
Sad that there weren't any built with dark forest green color. That one would have been my favorite, and is what I will eventually paint my 300C. |

Location: The Centennial State | I went to a 300 Club meeting and saw a 300C with individual front seats. I wonder if that car may have had an 888 TRM code. |

Location: The Centennial State | Similar to that, Igor. No headrests and the chrome trim does not look familiar. It is difficult to tell what the spacing is like between the seats in the image, but there was a sizeable space between the seats on the car I saw. |

Location: The Centennial State | I knew there was a thread and image here somewhere bucket seats now part of the McCandless collection I don't think it helps solve the 888 TRM code question though.
