Re: [Chrysler300] Hood Pad 300 G

["Roger Schaaf" <obiwan10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like Clarence Bacon's red 55 from Las Vegas.  I always liked that 
car, was not a perfect car but looked like a great car to do a cross country 
cruise on Rt 66.  For those apoplectics out there, nothing was done to the 
car that could not be quickly re-done to stock.  This car has the incorrect 
repro wheels.  But who cares, mine has the correct(almost correct, as they 
have stainless spokes that are chromed--now the cat is out of the bag) wire 
wheels but they are on a B and some claim that this too as incorrect.  If I 
had known the car was being sold, I would have tried to buy it.  Wonder what 
it sold for?

Congratulations on your awards.  I sorry I missed the show but the rain did 
me in.  2 years out of 3 now I have paid my 25 bucks to pre-register and 
gotten rained out.  I think a date in April would be better as being rained 
out must cost GG's dearly.

48 heavier spokes is the count on the correct wheel.
