Happy New Year to All- I cannot say I bought a Letter Car new, I was only 9 years old when they stopped in 65. HOWEVER- Two notes on that idea of new Letter Cars. The first New one I saw was when my Great Uncle took his 64 New Yorker in for warranty work to S.L. Savage Chrysler Plymouth Dodge in downtown Seattle in the spring of 64. I saw a Silver(Silver Special possibly?) 300K in the shop. It did not have plates on it and I'll never forget that car. Maybe that's why I am a K fan. Second thought/observation- How many have bought their Letter Car from a Chrysler Dealer used,( in the 1980's?)I bought my Roman Red K hardtop from Rolfe and Wood Chrysler Plymouth Dodge in Bozeman, Montana on June 18th, 1982-MY 26th birthday(and the best birthday present I ever bought myself!) I am sure there are as many stories like this as there are members, but had to throw in on this discussion. AND- I am sure someone out there has owned their K longer than I- So let us know! Joe Pierce 300Kx2+M+others. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wieland, Elizabeth" <EWieland@xxxx> To: <chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 10:24 AM Subject: RE: [Chrysler300] Lefty's Earliest Owners List > This sounds like food for a news letter or two - or more.
