Earlier posted a query re when 1957 300C production started - have since found it seems first numbered cars were around 3rd week of Nov 1956. However this then poses the question of how they were then only up around cars numbered mid 30s by late December - like it seems improbable that they only built around one 300 a day over then near 30 days between late Nov to late December!? Is it more likely they ran an initial/near pilot batch from Nov 20 to whenever, then maybe started actual (eventually) regular/continuous 300 production some time in December ?! Anyone know anything, or even what happened with later 300 model production start ups? Or maybe how say 1st 300, or 300B production started? And/or when around what dates Dealers had first cars for public/buyers to see/drive? Christopher in Australia ps Mitsubishi Japan announced this week that the former Chrysler Plant in Australia they purchased around 20 years ago after Chrysler exited Australia will cease production in March - near 1000 employees lose their jobs - all product will now be sourced from overseas, and production moved to China or other low cost factories. Gas prices are savaging 6 cylinder family cars sales, only Toyota booming/immune. Production of Dodge 4s began here in early 20s - Valiants, later aussie designed, the biggest sellers from 60s into early 80s. _________________________________________________________________ Your Future Starts Here.
