RE: [Chrysler300] '62 Caramel Sport Conv.



A closeup picture of Jerry Lewis driving the '62 300 ragtop can be seen at:

Another member has commented that whether the '62 300 convertible is a Sport
or a 300-H is an old and unresolved issue.  Can anyone tell from the photo?
I was wondering how DOES one tell the difference between a 300 Sport and a
300-H from the outside?  Our club website indicates the only way is to be
close enough to see the little "H" on the trunk, so, unless someone finds
some movie records, the question may remain unresolved forever.  Jerry just
turned 81, so if he is to be queried, it would be a good idea to ask him
soon.

Like many of the stars in the show, Jerry was only in for a short scene and
was uncredited.

The world has become considerably madder since 1963, IMHO, and the movies,
stars and cars more boring.  M3 World won an Oscar for Best Effects and
Sound Track.  Johnny Winters was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for best
actor.  The red Dodge ragtop really looked great in the movie and was driven
HARD, as were all the cars.

Jimmy Durante kicking the bucket was a classic scene at the beginning.
