My 300G coupe had tbhe numbers inside the glove box when I bought it, but it had been painted. My G convert has them mounted on the trunk lid. -------------------------- Client Networking Agilent Technologies Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld -----Original Message----- From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tue May 24 08:44:08 2005 Subject: VB: [Chrysler300] G question - reply -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Johan Andersson [mailto:055160308@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Skickat: den 24 maj 2005 16:42 Till: 'Andy Mikonis' Ämne: SV: [Chrysler300] G question - reply Hello again group. My second input in one day.... it doesn't happen to often. Pete Fitch are right that we have discussed this several years ago. My car has the letters on the trunk lid and it also has the 1962 emblem on the glove compartment. I was sure that was a change from a owner before me but one of the other members told us that he had it on his car too and he was pretty sure that have been there all the time. We was talking about it may been if the first owner ordered the car in some special way that this extra letters was put on but we never come to any kind of solving the problem. Don't forget that some of the advertising for the G in the beginning of that sale year have the letters on the trunk. My car is 8413198926 so it's pretty late in the year and I know that cars after that don't have the letters. It's hard to believe that Chrysler only drilled holes in some of the 300-s and not in all if it suppose to be letters in all cars after a specific date in manufacturing. I'll closely follow all the inputs in this subject because this looks like a secret for everybody. Burned rubber smells great....

Interestingly, if you've ever seen the fairly common color magazine ad with a red G, it shows the F gear, though it seems to be an illustration and not a photo. Another oddity with some early G's is the use of the 300F right side exhaust manifold with the generator mount cut off. The use of the F gear and/or manifold does not seem to occur in any sequence, just randomly in the early part of production. As far as the trunk "300" numbers go, an original owner of a G told me he noticed them on G's in showrooms starting around January 1961. In my research, I've yet to document a G built in 1960 with the trunk numbers, and most built thereafter seem to have the numbers. PLEASE keep in mind this is a touchy subject as many of those numbers have been removed or put on when cars were painted later. I would be interested in hearing about any cars that don't agree with this and can be documented.
