Re: [Chrysler300] Diamond Jubilee 300 Circus-History





About the 300D,
The carbureted engine received the 3-speed automatic, while fuel injected cars received a 3-speed manual transmission. Unfortunately, electronic fuel injection wasn?t a great idea in an era when vacuum tubes still ruled the electronics world, and the 16 or so cars equipped with the Bendix system were recalled and retrofitted with carburetors.
 
The statement that the fuelie cars all received 3-speed manual transmissions is incorrect.  Only 2 manual transmissioned Ds are known to me and neither is fuel injected.  All the fuel injected cars I've seen have the Torqueflite 3-speed automatic.
 
Not all the 300Ds were retrofitted with carbs.  We know of one that was not.  So while they may have been notified of a recall, not all the owners may have complied.  (A lot like today's cars.)
 
We have an out-of-date folded brochure with a brief explanation of the club and the cars.  Dave Schwandt was the last to update it and it needs it again.  We should have them for handouts using Dave's neat holder.

Hi To All,

The effort that members contributed to the short histories for the Diamond Jubilee Big Top Tent car placards is in the process of being used to update the 300 Club Int?l website by Bob Merritt.

The table of facts and the descriptive text is undergoing one last review by the perspective letter year consultants.

Noel Hastalis has agreed to comple te a detailed spec sheet that will be used as a poster.

That leaves the full history of the Chrysler 300 from inception through today?s offering. This info will be printed on a 4 ft. tall poster.

Please help us by reviewing the text.

Please download it, review it and edit away with any changes you feel will accurately portray the history of the 300 Marque.

Suggested changes can be e-mailed. OR the document is set up to tract changes (deletions wil l be strike thrus and additions will show up on the side.)

Make your suggested changes and add your initials to the document's name and e-mail it.

The description of the current offerings is weak. Not sure if there will be a model change by 2015?

Looking forward to your assistance & input.

Tony Rinaldi,
Mark Souders,
Tony Bevacqua
