Re: [Chrysler300] Chrysler letter cars make Top 10 at premier Australian Chrysler meet

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sean;
What a pleasure to get this email!
Bob and I grew up together. Elementary and Hi school pals. Prowled the  
neighborhood together and have many fond memories. I have his  
autographs with pencil drawings in my elem. school Autograph book and  
later, he did pencil and colored pencil drawings of several of my  
custom cars. Highly prized!
2 1/2 years ago, we met up at our 50th High School Reunion, great times.

What you may not know is his name is on the patent of the Chrysler  
Corp. Mini-Van along with 2 others. He lead or was a key part of the  
design team of this revolutionary new kinda car. (It saved Chrysler's  
butt, too!) He won't mention it, too modest. He does wonderful sport  
car racing paintings which he sells worldwide.

Congratulations on your great showing and thanks for the memories;
Ray Jones in Mena


All right folks, time's awasting! This  Meet will be a good'un, don't  
miss it! Registrations are your anxious hands now, so lets get those  
Meet Registrations in soon, give poor Gloria a break and don't wait  
'til the last few days. It's getting time for y'all to be polishing up  
your rides for the Spring Meet!
"It's the fellowship that makes it a special event." Be there, or be  
Square!  RAY

Hello to all our fellow Letter car fans.

Just a short note to let all my buddies know that both our B & D made  
the "Top 10" at our premier Chrysler Event Down Under recently.

This was a team effort between the Morgan boys, my younger Brother  
Stuart, My Father Gordon, who has recently recovered well from a  
serious stroke, and myself, so this was an important mission for us to  
accomplish together. 3 years in the making and a car show debut for  
these cars. We also had a great deal of support from our Wives and  
younger kids!!

The Show was "Chryslers on the Murray" (River) in Albury-Wodonga, a  
border twin town between the States of New South Wales & Victoria.  
Many previous years has seen a number of US guests including regular  
visits from Bob Hubbach, who you might know as a senior Chrysler  
stylist and who worked on Viper GTS, & Current 300C. He also styled a  
number of unique Big Australian Mopars that you may or may not have  
ever seen. Bob is also an accomplished artist who also paints cars of  
course. I have some of his wonderful signed prints.

Over 600 really nice Mopars attended this year, so this effort was not  
so bad!

The best thing is the cars didn't miss a beat, over 700 miles in  
convoy! Even the Air Conditioning in the D (totally Mopar from 1958)  
kept us cool all the way.

We also took out best 1945-1960 Mopar with the D........This was a  
new, bigger year range prize category and a lot of nice post war cars  
to compete against.

A special thanks again to all those who have helped along the way, too  
many to mention, but you know who you are!!

Thanks again gang....Now I can relax a little at the next show.

Best Regards

Sean

300B & D

P.S. Some of you guys have got to head down under to the next Murray  
meet to check out some of our "Special" OZ Muscle Mopars!!
