The Windsor had an ugly v on both rear quarter panels so those holes would have had to be filled but lets face it Chrysler simply didn't stamp then in. The cadet visor over the windshield was on the Windsor's depending on which model I believe. The Nassau didn't have it standard but the Newport did as I remember. Never have figured out if the two different visors mentioned earlier were early and late or what. How about the different seat actuators?? Had NY no 30 which had a really strange early style release which pulled up at the top and looked like the electric handle assy. ----- Original Message ----- From: <john_nowosacki@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <barber@xxxxxxxxx>; <sirbobaloo@xxxxxxx>; <chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 4:57 AM Subject: RE: [Chrysler300] Todays A O L > > It has always been my contention that the 55 had a Windsor body, or at > least Windsor quarter panels.
