Subject: Rubber Renew?
Matt,
There are many products out there for rubber but I would urge you to avoid
any of them with silicone content. My personal preference for the task
you describe would be multiple coats of Meguiar's #40 (professional line -
tan bottles) for rubber and vinyl. I love the stuff and use it on all
rubber (including tires) on ALL my cars.

Subject: Rubber Renew?
I have an NOS piece of weather-strip that I'd like to use, as a
reproduction is not available.
Being that is was made in 1962 it is now a little stiff.
Any thought on how to soften it up again so it's shape can be restored,
thus installed properly?
Thanks,
Matt Allyn

Could you esplain da "No Sillycone" edict! I have a letter to Dealers
from 1957
advising them to use Sillycone (and where to get it) for rubber
weatherstripping
treatments

Just a few comments on the white G coupe for sale at Park Place Ltd. Does
the Club show this car in the VIN # listing? The red leather does not
appear to be original as there is no basketweave pattern. Was this an 888
car? Price sounds high.

Hi Bob, and all
The car is indeed known. "888" 300G's did not have the basketweave - just
the regular tan interior cars. A club member/friend was recently
interested
in this car. I told him to talk to Jeff Carter, since the car is in
Jeff's
area of the world. Jeff's reply was as follows ( I hope he won't mind
me
sharing it with the group...)
"I believe this car has been circulating through the West coast auction
circuit for some years now. As to the history, it seems to just get
better
with age. This car was apparently shill bid up into the low 30,000 range
against a reserve of around 34,000 at the Silver auction held earlier this
month at Hot August Nights in Reno, but was not sold. I first saw the car
in the early 90's at Barrett-Jackson, and I think it sold for around
15,000
then. It's had a fair amount of cosmetic work done since then, but the
telltale 1962 grill bezel and wavy lower quarter panel and rocker panel
rust
repairs remain...
The selling dealership (Park Place Motors) is a high-end car lot with
clientele that includes Seattle Seahawk players and Microsoft
millionaires,
but they're really not at all familiar with the Chrysler 300 type of car.
I'm sure it has been consigned to them for sale.
Hope this helps,
Jeff"
And I also hope this helps !

Subject: 57-8 Chrysler Radio Part 2
Hey everyone -
I found the hex-head nuts that I needed to hold the shafts in place at the
local small town hardware store. The first two he pulled out of the box
fit
perfectly !
Now on to the next problem. While the radio lights up when turned on, but
none of the tubes are lighting up. They are all the original Mopar tubes.
Can all the tubes be burned out, or does this point to a larger problem ?
Even though this is a 58 Chrysler Searchtune radio, does anyone have a
57-8
Chrysler non-searchtune 'parts radio' that I can buy so that I can move
some
of the internals over for testing ? Or does someone have some good used
radio tubes (I can supply the tube numbers) that I can buy to replace what
is in there now ?
Thanks,
Ron
