Ad text said it was a Pan Am NYer and in storage in Michigan. I replied to OG that yes INDEED I knew of the car as I, John Lazenby and others had researched it as best we could nine years earlier but it then disappeared back into the woodwork. It was BACK! > > Being a very important historical Chrysler (I was to learn even more shortly!) I told Owen to simply BUY THE CAR, right now, "git 'er done" (as we Texans say) because this car would sell quickly to the first person who appreciated it. I offered to leave immediately with my diesel pickup and car trailer and get the deal bought and down to dry Texas. I got 'er done. An assortment of details ended up with Owen graciously allowing me to purchase the car. > > For now, you can see a few pictures and read about it at: > http://www.thehemi.com/notable.php?id=011 > > The car is running and a great deal of elbow grease is being applied. The engine compartment is being detailed and rechroming is in process. New exhaust awaits. The rare disc brake system is being researched but repairs put-off so the car will be SURE to be in attendance at Rob Kern's Fall Chrysler 300 Intl club meeting in Lawton, Oklahoma, the end of September. > > If you have read the link above, you know this car's relevance to the development of the Chrysler 300 Letter Car series. > > For good reason I have named the car "Adam".
