Subject: '55 Crown Imperial in France
I've posted this message on the IML but i think that FWDLK or
Chrysler 300 list members would have some interest !
" A friend of mine has sent me some pics of a '55 Crown Imperial
(yes the limo..) which is stored outside since several years
under a cover in France !! What a pity ! As you expect the car
needs resto .. My friend would buy the car but not at the price
the owner wants ..
The pics are at

Subject: Plymouth 2x4 carbs
I am ready to believe that the fates are against me.
Last night I had a SMALL chance to get the carbs I NEED
on e-bay. The first bid I put in went just fine, BUT it
was "hosed up city" when it was time to re-bid. Couldn't
get this darn thing cleared up until it was once again
"TOO LATE" you missed it time.
DRATS, Darn, and Pooie.
So tonight I'm sitting here and the phone rings, Guy is calling
because he knows I need 2 carbs. Drats, seems he was the wining
bidder on a chebby setup that had 57 Fury carbs on it and wanted
to know if I was interested. Yes he now knows that they aint
chebby carbs, manifold is right but carbs aint.
Anyway I still am looking for 2534S and 2535S Carter WCFB caruretors.
I do have available a pair of 2314S Carter WCFB caruretors with
tags which are correct for 55 Chrysler 2x4 setups.

Subject: '55 french Crown Imp. : infos
Hi,
I have received several messages about the '55 Crowm Imp:
conditions ? Is the car for sale ? etc..
First i 'll describe the conditions of the car (as said the
friend who took the pics and who is a "perfectionist"..):
The car is in bad shape: rust on all lower body, the paint is in
bad conditions and peels off, no infos about mechanic parts but
the car sat from several years outside and the engine is probably
stucked..
All the pot-metal parts have pittings: headlight rings, upper
windshield molding are in bad conditions. All chrome parts need
rechroming. Windshield is broken.
Wheelcovers are not original. Some side moldings has been affixed
with screws .. Right front fender molding is not original.
Front seat needs new leather upholstery, rear seat (and folding
seats) are in good conditions. Seems that all parts are there.
The car was formerly a belgian embassy car. Don't know if the car
has a french or belgian tittle.
My friend says that you have to spend around $ 20.000 to restore
the car to # 1.5 to 2 conditions. As the owner wants $ 14.000 for
the car he thinks that itsn't reasonable. He proposes to the
owner $ $ 4000 and he's waiting for an answer. If he doesn't want
a car i'll let you know the whereabouts of the seller (e-mail me
privatly but not before 01/15/2002).

Subject: Your 300H
Desperately seeking 300H stories. I've extended the
deadline for the 300H feature due to the low response.
Please send me a story and photos on your 300H if you
can. Even if a few people send just a couple
paragraphs and a photo, it'll help. Feature length
stories welcomed, and needed. Do your patriotic duty.
Uphold the good name 300H owners everywhere. Keep the
Club rolling.
300ly,
Andy Mikonis

Subject: Lost at the chromer
My chromer seem to have misplaced(lost) one of the buttons for the side
vent windows(57C Cvt.). Any one have a extra, or a complete handle or a
complete set of handles for sale? Should be the same for 58 & I think
59.

Subject: Just curious...
I wish I had a VIN number but I don't and ... Dad's gone, Mother's very
old
and has no records and even the insurance agency that served our small
town
has long since gone out of business. I'm just curious to know whether
someone on this list owns the 1959 300E that Dad purchased new from Karr
Chrysler Plymouth in Herrin, Illinois. It was a cloud white coupe with a
beige leather interior (as I remember). My Dad's name was Herbert V. Fine
and his address was Carterville, Illinois. The original Illinois license
tag
number was 557-807. I remember that distinctly because Dad always used
his
Army serial number for his "personalized license plate" until Illinois
went
alpha-numeric. I suspect that people who love the 300s as I do ...
especially the "E" might just have a documented history, and I'd give
quite
a bit to be able to sit in that driver's seat one more time and hold the
steering wheel that he held. Dad was a very simple man who came out of a
very poor, orphaned childhood. He didn't smoke; he didn't drink; he didn't
gamble and to my knowledge, he didn't fool around :-) He never invested
in
stocks or property or anything most financial planners would consider
prudent ... but he loved Chryslers and he loved "fast." He had an E and H
... I'm trying to find the E. It's my last link to him.
Maybe ... just maybe I'll get lucky and find that someone who loves that
car, today, as much as he did and as much as I still do? Time will tell.
Russ
