Re: {Chrysler 300} 55 300 article

["'Noel Hastalis' via Chrysler 300 Club International" <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, 2 drain holes - 1 at the base of the red-painted center section, and the other in the valley circling the outer hubcap area - both connect to a single narrow hose that drains onto the rear trunk ledge. And this was on every Chrysler Flight-Sweep (toilet seat) decklid, not just on Fs. 

And, some early build ‘60 Chryslers also had similar drain hoses placed in the outboard ends of that rear trunk ledge. Look closely at my attached photo of a low-mile full survivor Windsor, showing the tops of these 2 outboard drain hoses - seen at 2025 Chryslers at Carlisle a year ago.

There was also a water drain hole on the deck lid in the spare tire emblem on the F’s. I saw that on the black 4 Speed owned by Bob McAtee.

All the Fs rolled off the Jefferson assembly line with the louvered hood. A one year only feature that was exclusive to the Fs. 

That’s why, when looking at the underhood pad, you’ll see a pad cutout of about 4” square, to accommodate the water drain hole in the hood under the louvers.

I had hoped this would make it into the real magazine, but it was just the online version. We spent a full day doing the shoot, did around 25 laps around the race track while doing it. Was a lot of fun and the first time I had actually driven the car.

I don't know if this has been seen before. Hagerty did this article on 300 #1. It's a good read.
