RE: [Chrysler300] '56 300B lower Grill molding

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

Is this piece the same on 1955 C-300's and 1956 300B?

Several members advised me that the rear window on my C-300 could not be
delaminated since it was single piece of glass.  Inspection confirmed the
apparent delamination was stubborn old crud from the rubber molding.  I did
a little survey of the glass in the C-300 and found the following.  Some of
the little numbers were hard to read.  Any corrective editing appreciated.

Front windshield: PPG-SOLEX-DUPLATE AS1 35
Both vent windows: PPG-SOLEX-HERCULITE AS2 9 64
Driver's door: PPG-SOLEX-DUOLITE AS2 9 1  (?)
Passenger's door:  LOF-SAFETY E-Z EYE-AS2 CCX LAMINATED
LR quarter:  PPG-SOLEX-HERCULITE-AS2 9 16
RR quarter:  PPG-SOLEX-HERCULITE-AS2 6 25
Rear window:  PPG-SOLEX-HERCULITE-AS2 4 25

It appears the windshield and door glass are laminated while the vent,
quarter and back windows are not.  That makes sense from a safety
standpoint.  Apparently the passenger's side glass was replaced at some time
in our car.  AS1 and AS2 look like some standard--American Standard?   I
would like to replace the passenger door glass with a PPG Solex piece if
anyone has an extra.

My wife got T-boned on the driver's side of our 1967 Plymouth and I think
that glass was crumbly, not laminated.  She got quite a bit of that
shattered safety glass in the side of her face.  Laminated might have been
better.

Hello 300 Fans,     On E-Bay there appears to be the most elusive part for a
300B - the chrome trim piece below the grills and above the front bumper ! !
!          I have have never seen this piece available in 30 years of
looking for parts for 56 Chryslers.                 I am certain there are
several 300Bs in the club that lack this piece - Now may be your only
chance.  I know nothing about the seller and have no other knowledge, save
what is there.                               E-Bay id is 130209511760
All the Best 300ing !                                                Phil
