Hi,

I did not matter what color your 300 was, the highway patrol noticed any
300C going fast. I know since we purchased our Copper Brown 1957 300C in
July 1958 and used it for business. Several times cops turned their vehicles
around and followed me. I frequently traveled from Seattle to Spokane,
Washington a distance of 300 miles.  In those days, you did not see any
other 300's in Washington State.

   There was a recession in '57 ( the year I graduated from high school )
that didn't help sell
   higher priced cars.
