Re: [Chrysler300] 1961 300G Dash Garnish repros

[John Hertog <crossram@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I agree that sill plates for 60 thru 64 would be a hot item. Cover 5
years, two models (hardtops and converts) . Should sell quite a few !  Die
costs are going to be expensive, though - them's big pieces !
