RE: [Chrysler300] key on ebay

["christopher beilby" <thelastbestgenius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of my 300Cs (April 1957) has aluminum keys - one is red, but don't 
remember what lock this fits.  Also I do not know if original keys or not. 
Amongst keys that came with Supercharged 300C (late Dec 56), are also a set 
of aluminum keys. They possibly could be original, becausethey were with a 
fair few 1956-58 original letters and receipts that came with car also, so 
keys could also date back to then?

And while we are on 'what 300s had what' - did very early 300Cs have the one 
piece cast hubcap centres, as different from the later ones, where they were 
built up with three cast little ears attached to centre?  The supercharged C 
looks like it had no mesh in front brake duct scoops under headlights, and 
still has 120 mph speedo - bit odd for a car that ran just under 150mph on 
Daytona Beach, but maybe not so important when car mainly ran at drags, 
apart from more common street use.
It is seemingly amongst the first 50 300Cs built, if anyone has worked out 
when cast cap centres ended.

Christopher in Australia where yesterday my 2nd 300C laid rubber ( albeit 
towing a 70 El Camino project 20 feet so I could mow the lawn where my 2nd 
EL C sits part stripped, awaiting going to the sandblasters !!)
