Kurt,Let's see what photos roll in. Also, did you see Jack Boyle’s email that I just shared? We may have enough coverage from the Car Show.

Since Steve is located in Nebraska (if I recall correctly), sorry I don't have the roster book with me in Wisconsin, I could ask him if he'd be willing to allow a photo shoot. I will be back in Omaha later this month.

John,
There was
write up in one of the club magazines, back in the ‘80s I
believe, of this 71 mile G. I suggest an effort be made to
gather photos of this G taken from the recent meet, and post
them in the reference car section of the Club site.

I
can't remember the details, but I do remember some
sort of story on this 71 mile G from ages ago. Is
there a link to it, or better yet, a more modern
version of the story with more detailed pictures of
engine bay, trunk, interior for those who might be
interested in making a few 'adjustments' to our cars?
Noel's post reminded me that I
also noted another detail on the 71 mile G at
Omaha. Last spring, I inquired among the G
experts on the proper white color for the grille
letters.
Conclusion was that we are not
sure; most folks just paint them some sort of
generic white.
The 71 mile G revealed that the
grille letters are not generic bright white, but
an off white that looks to match the exterior
Alaskan White color.
Andy M. our chief judge, was
next to me looking at the G and agreed with my
finding.

Subject {Chrysler 300} A
couple F / G tidbits -
At
our recent Omaha Meet's Friday evening
Car Show, I noticed a couple details
that I didn't recall seeing/noticing
previously - on a Dave Schwandt's F and
on Steve Frisell's G - so I reached out
to Don Verity, our Club's F/G
Consultant.
Here's
my email to Don, followed by his
response:
Following
a couple observations and discussions
from our Omaha Meet Car Show, I have the
following questions for you.
-
- Looking
at Dave Schwandt's special order Polar
Blue 300-F, I noticed the left front
hood latch bolt painted body color,
that's part of what secures the latch
to the top of the grille support. I
asked Dave S. about this, and he said
the factory painted the bodies,
including this bolt that held the
support in place. When it came time to
attach this lower hood latch, that
bolt was removed, the latch was added
and then it was fully bolted down,
with the other bolts unpainted and
taken from the assembler's stock of
bolts. I don't recall ever seeing
this.
- This
would be a 1960 issue only, since
the hood latches were painted body
color on the '61s.
- See
my photo attached.
-
- Looking
at Steve Frisell's 71.3 mile all
original survivor 300-G coupe, I saw
what looked to be 'dum-dum' sealing
the outer edges of the boomerang
backup light bezel to the tailfin end.
Was this something that was installed
by the factory as it assembled the
rear light trim on these '61s - and
possibly also on the '60s boomerang
taillight bezels?
Omaha
looks like it was a great meet. I wish
I could have gone.
The
body colored bolt is correct. A friend
has an original F with the same bolt.
Chrysler
used body sealer in a lot of places to
keep water out of places it didn't
belong. If it is on that original car,
I would think it would be correct.
Most cars by this time have had the
lights out at some point and the
sealer may have not been replaced.
