RE: [Chrysler300] aussie 57 300C versus new 300C feature article

["Owen Grigg" <ram300@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chis,
Just read through the article, I liked and agreed with most if not all of
your comments as well as the brief description of the '57 300C.

BUT as for the bagging of the new one by the journo with comments such as
"don't expect the new 300C to take the sword to any of the Ford or Holden
eight bangers, as it simply won't happen" OR "in terms of fit ,finish , and
ergonomic function, the 300 fails to outshine even the lowest level
Australian family sedans". 
Holden Australia couldn't even get the windows to go up and down in my
Holden Commodore, how's that for fit and finish! Then there's the lack of
oil pressure on the V8 cars not so long back. These were not one off
problems either. As for performance let's compare apples with apples and put
an SRT8 up against one of the so-called Aussie "muscle cars".
I was reasonably happy with the new 300C on my test drive, fit and finish on
the one I drove was nice and a darn sight classier than what Holden/Ford
have put together lately.
It drove well too, without being mind blowing, but I'm looking forward to a
drive in the SRT8 for that. I'm glad to see them down here.

"Down-under" too....and putting up with these idiot comments from local
motoring magazines.

If interested 'Read all about it', if what I suggest below works from the US

as simply as it does from here/Australia.

Last November Australia's largest circulation Auto Magazine ran a color 
feature of my 57 daily driver 300C versus the current 300C. I was going to 
email a copy of the feature the magazine sent me on a CD, but file was way 
too large, and I apologise I have been too busy to try and work out a 
smaller format copy.   However,

if you go to Google, and in search box you type in  "Chris Beilby", up as 
number One response comes my red 57 300C, and a shortened/edited format 
version of the feature "Unique Cars" ran - unfortunately they cut the number

of shots of the 57 300, but at least some of it is there.

Try it and see how it goes your end - if it works the red 57 300C is there 
worldwide - even if they made my car's 120,000 miles into 200,000 
kilometres, and then when printing changed their 200,000 kilometres into 
200,000 miles - now if every 392 hemi in a 300C did 200,000 hard miles with 
only minor blowby as the only complaint at that mileage, we would all be 
rapt !?

Get the spelling of my surname correct, the "e" is before the "i" in Beilby,

and I am none of the other Beilbys that come up after the first one.  If it 
does not work with "Chris Beilby", maybe try 'Chris Beilby 300C'.

Someone let me know if it works from there or not,

yours from Oz, Christopher
