Re: [Chrysler300] Hood Pad 300 G

["Roger Schaaf" <obiwan10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is suggested that the wire spoke wheels are correct from 1953 to 1956. 
My understanding is that having a 56 B judged at a Chrysler 300 Club meet 
will throw some into a heated dispute as these wheels are claimed by some to 
not be correct on a 56.
