Re: {Chrysler 300} Fwd: 1957 Chrysler 300C video

It’s 571342, seen in our News-Flite #164, so not a super early build.

Curious also that -001 has a 140 mph speedo, among other unique features.

No one ever mentioned serial nunber of car! Early # cars had 120 MPH speedometers. One of my convs. has power antenna on left side between speedometer and top control. (3N57 2977) late car.

From Wayne Graefen's 1957 Chrysler 300 C Handbook;

"A number of 300 Cs apparently came with 120 MPH speedometers."

See page 4 in the section Authenticity.

As you noted the 120 MPH Speedometer, (mistakes were often made.) What's up with the toggle switch and red light on the left side of the dash ? Just wondered.

Thanks,

Here's a new video of our Club member friend Randy Guyer's all original 300-C convertible - with a little Cold War history discussion intertwined. I'm sure you'll notice the 120 mph speedo in the dash instead of the typical 150 mph speedo - assuming this C rolled off the assembly line this way.

Those of us that attended the Fall 2019 Minneapolis Meet that Randy hosted will remember seeing this convertible, still wearing its 35+ year accumulation of dust from sitting silent in a warehouse all those years near Milwaukee.

A newly posted video [from Two Guys and a Ride] of my 1957 Chrysler 300C convertible. A bit long at around 25 minutes but I think/hope you’ll find it interesting, informative, and entertaining.
