Gloria - Impeccable memory, as usual. Through, from what I was able to glean from Dave's son and Dave's brother (my dad), it never had an engine in it while the Iwinski's had it. So, you may have seen it either in person during a visit to Dave/Joe's shop
at the time of the Irwin meet, before the Iwinski's acquired it, or just in photos.
>From Dave's son (Tom):
Yes, the Iwinski’s did own a 300D station wagon. But they didn’t build it, Dave bought it… I recall from somewhere east… NJ or MD. We have pictures and slides of it. I helped scrap it out.
It was a bark blue 58 Plymouth Station wagon with a 300D front clip and side trim with medallions. The 300 front clip appeared to be a bolt on change without body modifications. The reason the car was purchased was because it was built on a 57/58 Chrysler
convertible frame with the massive X central crossmember. Dave wanted the frame for his 57 300C convertible because his car had a badly cracked frame that had been patched too many times. That's one reason it was off the road for so long. The frame from
the station wagon was the frame in the convertible that Dave sold overseas. The car had a blue Plymouth 4 door interior; not the fancy leather from a 2 door 300D.
>From my dad (Chuck):
It was a Plymouth station wagon with 300 front end. No engine. Came out of Maryland. Dave and I hauled it back on a trailer with my, then new, 1975 International 200 pickup. Which also came out of Maryland. Tom was correct it was needed for the frame.
Never driven, nor at any shows while we owned the hulk.

Yes there was a 300D station wagon. Dark blue. One of the Iwinski clan made it, probably Joe or Dave. I think we saw it at the Irwin meet and at Falls Church VA meet in the early 70s. There are pictures somewhere I'm sure. It garnered a lot of attention
and was a fun thing for them to have made and driven.
