Subject: 300 hurst parts
Hello out there, I'm doing a little bit of a clean-up on
my 300 hurst and i am looking for some parts ...
* Left front fender wheel opening trim (only a 69 up model 300
will do, the other models use a different well trim.
* Complete manual external hood release mechanism, ( handle, rod
and latch assy.)
dou@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks ahead, Dou

Subject: Re: Danbury Mint
Hello! Many 300s have already been in 1/25th scale plastic form, JoHan
models of Michigan. I'd vote for any 300 that hasn't already been
available
in some model form. I still vote for the Hurst. When the Hurst run
might
be over, simply change the dies into a standard ' 70 300, then a ' 69 300,
'
71 300, Newports, ' 70 Newport Cordobas, New Yorkers, Imperials, and of
course convertibles, where applicable. I think the fuselage body style
has
REALLY been overlooked by all of the model car companies. I know I would
buy
any and every version that would come out. (Next e-mail will cover all
the '
69 to ' 73 Dodge and Plymouth C-bodies I'd like to see come out in model
form. Just kidding!)

Happily it didn't start life as a real 300 at least.
Seen this done to a number of 55s in recent years.

Years ago I read a story in Hot Rod Magazine from one of the top radiator
builders. They
said if you put one to two teaspoons of Baking Soda a year in your
radiator it will
neutralize all acids and help keep your cooling system from corrosion. I
have been doing
it at every 6 months for years, and I have been very pleased how clean my
systems have
been. You guys might try it.....Gary Barker

Subject: Re: an interesting find
Louis --
This sounds like an original 1960 "Dealer Album", also known as a
"Color and Upholstery Selector". I believe they are rather rare, as
obviously
there would have been only one per dealership. Despite being on a friendly
basis with every major automotive literature dealer in the country, it
still
took me more than ten years to find one of these for myself. They do show
up
on eBay once in a blue moon, where they can fetch upwards of $300.00, but
of
course it depends upon condition. Congratulations!
300F'ly,
Roger Karlson

Subject: an interesting find
We have an interesting discovery â an original dealer sales kit was found
behind the trunk. It is a hard shelled gray cardboard box that velcros in
the middle as the sides open and pivot outwards. Inside are flip charts
that
are spiral bound and have the 1960 product line specifications along with
options, color samples which are arranged so that you can see two-tone
combinations. We have never seen one before and are very excited! Anyone
have an idea how rare it is?

Subject: Re: Not so strange problem on a '57 Torqueflite
It's a good idea to verify if i can "free" the forward clutches with air
pressure : the FSM shows the oil passage in trans. case and describes all
air
pressure tests. (I've already remove the valve body from trans. so itsn't
a
difficult job !).
But, even i succeed in loosen the clutch pack i'm not sure that it is in
good
conditions !
Someone told me to add to the trans. diesel oil (don't know if it's the
correct
word, in France the word is "gas-oil" and it's the fuel of diesel engine):
3 or
4 quarts (or more) to complete with oil transmission. This mixture could
perhaps
clean the trans. but i'm not sure of the results on all bushings which 'll
not
be well lubricate..
I think i'm ready to a trans. overhaul !! And order a kit from Fastco.
