He was indeed. I seem to remember when he died in the
early '70s, one of his personal cars was still a
300-F.
I also remember reading a piece he wrote for something
other than Mechanix Illustrated about '60 or so, where
he was expressing sorrow over the lack of performance
stuff since the Automobile Manufacturers Association's
1957 ban on factory race teams, but went on to say
that there was one exception in Detroit ("the company
founded by one Walter P. Chrysler")...

Looking forward to it. If the 300-K is up to the trip
I think Nick Nichols & I will probably show up in it.
Glad to hear where some MoPar stuff is, as it seems
like we went thru everything else last year before
finding it. Always very cool stuff at Turlock. I still
think with some longing of the very nicely done
'61-or-so Continental pickup (shortened roof and what
looked like a '59 Ranchero bed) that some lucky soul
picked up for $1800 (IIRC).
