[Chrysler300] 1960 300 with 3 wheels

[quentsmith@xxxxxxx]

300 Members,
 
    I remember seeing this car going through Chelsea  with the left front 
driver's wheel missing. I asked my father about it as he was  a Chrysler engineer 
working at the proving grounds there. The car had a skid arm  placed under 
the suspension to prevent the front of the car from hitting the  pavement when 
braking hard. As to the amount of weight to counter balance the  car I do not 
know.
 
    The trick had everything to do with the new  unibody strength of the new 
cars. As I recall the car was white and could drive  down the street at normal 
speeds. A slow braking stop would not drop the front  end at all.
 
    Rather strange seeing this vehicle run around the  town.
