Re: FW: [Chrysler300] D convert F convert

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

For the Record:
Chick Kramer's 300D was originally sold thru a Westport, CT dealer, Dan  
Coppola Auto Sales, and Bert Tyler's 300F by a dealer in Washington, DC.   It 
originally had a white top.  Bert is on record as owning that  car earlier 
than 3/71.  So, neither car is one of the two  suggested as possibly being 
the ones originally purchased by Mr.Eber.
 
Nancy:
Very sorry to hear of Chic's passing.  He was truly unique among  us "300 
nuts".  The best story I can  remember (partially) is of  him losing the 
forward gears in his 300C convert. and so just putting it in  reverse and 
driving backwards for many miles to get home---or to a place it  could be worked 
on!   Perhaps you could fill in the details?   Thanks.  Also, I remember him 
talking about working on one of the original  300D FI cars---at a dealership 
in CA, I think.
300ly, Gil C.

So then  Burt did own it which would mean that my late husband Chic also 
owned it  because I think he sold it to Burst naturally before it was 
restored  etc.

Maybe Goria Moon knows more about the history since she does kind  of keep 
track of things for the clearing  house.

Nancy

PS I have no played in this whole  300 space much at all in the last few 
years so do not know much about  recent happenings.
