upon closer inspection, those "fin" Mercedes looked more like the equivalent Ramblers of the day. The only Rambler I want is the 57 Rebel (and they goofed and made it a 4dr, too!). If I wasn't deep into a 57 C resto, I might have gone for the Rebel that was recently on ebay. I believe it was faster than a C from 0-60 (not close on top end though) -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Graefen [mailto:wgraefen@xxxx] Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2003 11:02 AM To: patrick grant; Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; john_nowosacki@xxxx Subject: Re: [Chrysler300] NEW 300C from Chrysler! Daimler automobile history can be read at: http://www.vandenplas.com/daimler/dhist.htm <http://www.vandenplas.com/daimler/dhist.htm> and the early '60s Mercedes sedans were known as the "fin bodies" because they had a sort of junior scale '57 Thunderbird-like fin. But I certainly agree that fins would BEGIN to make this new 300 a 300C Wayne ----- Original Message ----- From: patrick <mailto:gran102@xxxx> grant To: wgraefen@xxxx <mailto:wgraefen@xxxx> ; Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ; john_nowosacki@xxxx <mailto:john_nowosacki@xxxx> Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2003 8:31 AM Subject: Re: [Chrysler300] NEW 300C from Chrysler! they are wasting their time until they put some FINS on those new versions. and have you ever seen fins on a daimler.? by the way, what is a daimler? has anyone ever seen a daimler?
