wheel medallions- reply

[John Hertog <crossram@xxxx>]

Hi Dan,

I wondered the same thing when I first saw the hubcap medallions you
mention. The answer is not simple, as always. I won't speak for other years
I don't know about (300H, 300J) but the 300G's actually had either
medallions with a dark navy blue, or medallions with the royal transparent
blue with the metalized backing. We did examine many cars to come to that
conclusion.

The Reproduction Parts committee chose to reproduce the former style.

John
