Hi Pete: First of all, CONGRATULATIONS to you and Anne!! Carol and I look forward to seeing you both in Asheville. I am sure someone with more knowledge than I will answer your question in greater detail. In a nutshell, Durham was a custom body manufacurer---quite prominent in the 30's. Many of the classics had bodies by Durham. I don't know if there was any special relationship with Chrysler such as Fleetwood had with Cadillac. The Durham 300B (there is a 300C too) seems to be just a mild custom. I am kind of surprised it didn't go for more, though. I definately didn't think the side trim removal improved its looks at all. Exner knows best!!!!! 300ly, Gil In a message dated 1/21/2006 9:51:51 AM Eastern Standard Time, moparpjf@xxxxxxx writes: Among the cars sold at B-J was a 1956 300-B Durham, which sold for $28,080.00. Can someone tell me what the "Durham" signifies???
