Re: [Chrysler300] 300s

["Charlie Valentine" <cross.ram@xxxx>]

I really did not mean "mean nothing to them" in that way. Their meaning is
not in tune with our (300 Club members) meaning and I am not saying that it
should be. They certainly do have some fine performance automobiles. Last
year at Chryslers at Carlisle I was talking to an owner of a 90 something
Mercedes which had 750 horsepower. He said that it had traction control and
you can not spin the tires. How is that for performance and the car was
stock and rather attractive. He was parked among the AMC's and Ramblers. I
think the class was "Chrysler family" or something like that.
I did a search in Google using "Mercedes 300" and just found some
information. Try http://www.3-0-0.com and if you go to "Evaluation" you will
see the page that I was looking at with the 300, 300b, 300c and 300d. I do
not know much about Mercedes cars, past or present, but I just wanted to
show our members that Mercedes have their own 300 series and that it
probably does not matter to them if we like them bringing back a Chrysler
300C.

We had 5 300's at the Franklin Mint car show today. All day all I kept
hearing was "Where's Pete" and "Did anyone see Pete". We really did miss you
Pete. On another note, two TRAILER QUEENS from N.J. drove their cars from
their home to the show "IN THE RAIN". After the rain stopped it turned out
to be a great day. Anyone looking to buy a Franklin Mint 56 Chebby Nomad?

Happy 300ing to all,
Charlie Valentine

Charlie,

You mentioned:

<The name 300, 300b, 300c, 300d and what ever other letters you put in back
of 300 mean
nothing to them. They have their own versions of 300, 300b, 300c, 300d and
maybe others>

Actually, those letters do mean somthing. 300C for instance stands for 3.0
liter displacement, coupe body, 300D = diesel engine, E usually means fuel
injected (on the older cars, now it is a class). S means high end luxury
class, L=long body. For example, a 450SEL is a 4.5 liter, luxury class,
fuel injected, long body sedan.

I have always loved cars that were well engineered and set apart from the
crowd. Chrysler and Mercedes cars have always been well engineered
automobiles. While I am not crazy about of how the merger transpired, I
can't think of a car company I would rather have had Chrysler merge with.

Chrysler 300 content. Took the 300G out for a ride last weekend. Car runs
fantastic, loved the feeling of that ram induction working its engineering
magic on the freeway onramp.
