Hi,
I think the AM/FM radio takes a different dash board hole.
I have a 1970 Imperial with AM only, I obtained an AM/FM radio from a 1970
Imperial and it requires a larger hole. The AM/FM radio looks like it
would
fit in my 1970 300 Convertible which already has an AM/FM radio. In
conclusion, they have different dash boards.

Could anyone out there in 300 land please share your experiences, both
positive and negative, with mounting a new 300 grille emblem? I just
received one for my 62 from the club and do not want to mount it with the
wrong adhesive and have it come unglued while driving.
There are four holes in the center piece. I was thinking of bonding the
emblem to a thin plate with two or four studs for bolting to the center
piece. If you think this will work what is the ideal bonding agent?
Thank you all in advance for any ideas and help that you may share.
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Charlie,
Here is my opinion based on experience. Way back in the early '80s, I
purchased a repro medallion that came with an epoxy mix to affix the
medallion. I installed it using the mix, and about a year later, I
noticed the medallion was missing. It evidently fell out while driving,
or someone stole it. After finding another repro medallion, I decided to
go with RTV silicone as a glue to hold it in. The medallion has been in
place for 18 years now and firmly in place. I like the RTV because it
provides a cushion between the bezel and the plastic, to hold well even
under vibration. Also, the RTV won't attack the painted back of the
medallion.

Regarding installation of the new Club grille medallions -- I recently
installed a 62. I expect the 60 and 61 are the same.
Where the medallion sits in the grille housing, I noticed there is a bump
at
12:00 in the housing. I noticed the original medallion had a recess at
12:00
. With the bump and the recess, it was easy for Chrysler to assemble the
original medallion aligned in the housing.
The new medallions don't have the recess and if you try to install the new
medallion, it will rock on the 12:00 housing bump. You don't want to grind
a
recess into the back side of the new medallions because this will remove
the
paint and leave a scar visible on the other surface.
To solve this problem, I took a file, removed the housing bump and the new
medallion lays flat. Since the medallion can now be installed at any
angle,
I found it helpful to install the horizontal grille bars to give a
reference
line. Between the bars, a straight edge ruler, and the lines within the
medallion, you can get the medallion alignment darn near perfect.
I used RTV as an adhesive. RTV dries slowly which allowed time to check &
adjust, double check & adjust, and triple check the angular orientation of
the new medallion in the housing. By the way, it appears the original
adhesive was an epoxy which was generously applied such that it ran out
one
or more of the four holes in the back of the housing.
If I remember, I'll post photos of specific details. It will be another
example how a 15 minute job takes me 2 hours......but dang it looks good.
