I think a woman must have decided that 300s would have taper axles, either

that or someone trying to tell us it is time to get a life beyond cars !?

At a recent swap meet, a friend said there was an obvious shortage of 
"unobtainium" - that is obviously that 'something special' we sometimes
need 
to remove rear hubs off these taper axles !

First time I tried to remove mine on my first 300C - heat and leaving the 
puller on, with spray on lubricant, worked finally.

Few thousand miles and 15 years later, one comes free after loosen nut
turn 
and half, quick flog round the block with plenty of swerving left and
right 
(this scaring few neighbours in their house front yards).
The other - drove round for weeks, burnouts, everything, and still stuck, 
this despite it put back with lubricant !!!!  Obviously needs some 
"unobtainium" ?

So over easter, still being stupid, I decided to replace bush in front of 
leaf spring on my '57 TBird - fun fun fun, getting the locating bolt out
of 
the chassis which it passes thru as part of holding spring in car - bet
300s 
have this same clever idea ?!

Hope you all had a happy easter, you yanks didn't really crush/destroy 
saddams collector/50s cars as was reported in our press did you, most only

3000 miles!??

Subject: Re: Hemi Concept car

Thank you to Bob Merrit for his collection of new 300C concept car shots.

Tell me Chrysler do not know it looks like a blunt brick with an ugly 
Cadillac style grille on it's nose - note Chrysler did not seem to put a 
real '57 300C or a '60 F beside it ??!  They know it looks blunt enough 
without sticking a true styling icon like either of those two alongside to

make it even more obvious??!!

I understand your points/comment re 2 doors don't sell as well, but maybe 
they will come out with some sexy/swoopy 2 door if we tell them 'have 
another try' !?  I mean GM woke up 'looks sell by 1926 when they set
Harley 
Earl's styling & dept up !!

Subject: Re: Hemi Concept car

Humm, I wonder, from a styling point how they can design and sell
a 2 door car this size that is COMFORTABLE for folks to enter/exit
the back seating area.  Somehow over the years of the "cloud" cars
I got the impression that 2 door cars were somewhat ackward to
enter/exit gracefully the back seating area. AND that impression
was the consumer reluctence to support this in numbers that sold
well.

(Just a humble poor boys opinion)

Thanks for the article on California SB 708.  Good to know something goes

right way once in awhile!  Jay Leno is a true car guy and it is nice to
have 
his influence is on our side.  300ly, Gil
