Re: [Chrysler300] Famous letter Cars

["Gloria Moon" <agmoon@xxxxxxxxx>]

The movie, Macabre, also had a new white 300 C or D in it.  It's been a very 
long time since that movie was aired.  It was a Hitchcock type spooky spoof 
movie.  The scene where the 300 is driven pans from the rear of the car all 
the way up the front to the interior (convertible) by another vehicle as if 
passing the car.  The driver was  blind (not blonde, but wait, yes she was a 
blind blonde!)

Lassie TV series had a 300D?  Perry Mason had a C or D.
Watching those old black and white TV shows can prove heart stopping 
sometimes when the unexpected 300 leaps out at you.

Hi Al and All:
The 300 used in Imitation of Life was a 300D Tahitian Coral Convertible.
(Sorry, Al!)  There are a couple of clear views of the inside rear view 
mirror
and the seats.  The only other movies I know of using ORIGINAL NEW  300 
letter
cars are The World the Flesh and the Devil where Harry Belefonte  drives a
300D, and Bachelor in Paradise.  The former is in black and white,  but the 
D
seems to be neither of these colors.  Not a bad movie, and quite  a few 
shots of
the D early on.  Brian, GOOD EYE to spot that 300F on the  freeway in
Bachelor!!  It took me several replays to be sure.  It has  been mentioned 
on the
listserver sometime back that there is a 300E in another  Natalie Wood 
movie, Fine
Young Cannibals.  I have yet to find this  one.

The 300C used in Crime Story is owned by Club member Andrew Jugle.   For the
series they painted it black and changed the color of the interior,  among
other "violations" that I believe Andy has commented on previously.   The 
car
used in Quiz Show was a white 300D convertible owned at that time by  member 
Tom
Turner (And formerly owned by Richard Carpenter).  The Turners  were invited
to and did watch some of the shooting.

C.T.C.I.  [small T-Birds]  maintains a list of movies where  small T-Birds
have appeared, from 1955 to the present, and the list seems  endless.  Also,
Birds that were owned by famous people;  Frank  Sinatra, Jane Wyman, Conway
Twitty, Don Sutton, etc.  Is there any such  history on Letter Chryslers?  I 
met
Robert Horton at the 1975 meet in  Anaheim, and he still had the copper C
convertible that he purchased  new.  Where are he, and/or the car today?  We 
all
probably remember  the black C convertible in the TV series "Crime Story". 
Who
owns  it?  What about the white C convertible in the movie "Quiz Show"? 
That
was a real beauty.

I have been told that my car was used in the  movie "Imitation Of Life", but
have never been able to verify   that.  I purchased it from the 2nd owner in
Culver City, just a few  blocks from the old MGM studio lot.  He told me 
that
the original owner  purchased it in Beverly Hills, and was prominent in the
movie industry,  [Producer, Director ???]  and owned it from 1957-1962.  I
remember  seeing a C convertible in an old black and white Perry Mason 
re-run a few
years ago, and wondered if perhaps it was mine.

Anyone have anything to  add?
