RE: [Chrysler300] Chrysler WINS Daytona !!!

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

The '54 would have had the two-speed powerflite, right?

I was surprised and shocked to hear the brakes broke!  I popped a front
brake hose on my '50 Windsor one time in the midst of an emergency stop.
Banh--right to the floor.  I yanked the emergency brake and locked up the
rears and got shut down, but only after doing some fancy maneuvering.  This
brings up the value of dual/split braking systems that retain braking to two
wheels if a hose or some other failure occurs.  Like accepting seat belts,
I'd like to see the judging of our 300's not deduct for safety modifications
such as improved braking.

C-300'ly,
Rich Barber
1955 Chrysler C-300 (99 44/100% pure)

You would think someone in professional journalism could spell brakes
correctly, not breaks as in the article. Nice info though, I thought '55 was
the first year for Chrysler.
