Re: [Chrysler300] California Show Report

Jay Leno. That rings a bell when you say he was looking over a GTX. I was 
at the Mopar Spring Fling at Woodly Park in So. cal a few years ago. My 
brother entered his fresh ground up resto on a 65 Dodge black 2 dr. post. 
Leno came up at a brisk walk and left just as quick with his brief case. I 
jokingly said to my brother that it was probably full of cash? Maybe a 
check book.
It was obvious that he was on a hunt for the best that interested him and 
ready to pay. Isn't it ironic how most of us sweet, grunt, strain, maybe a 
little swearing to get our cars looking nice. To get a concourse car for 
Leno the only sweet he sees is when he flips the latches on his brief 
case. Oh well, I would not have it any other way.
Oh! To keep this within the list serve rules, my C sure is moving along 
slowly. If I only had Leno's brief case.
