Re: [Chrysler300] 1957 Chrysler 300C - Oregonian Newspaper Love Story

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

John and Arlys:
Thank you for that great story!  Carol and I wish our dating/marriage  300C 
was in the condition of yours, but at least we still have it.  Its  center 
front seat belt still has the Dymo lettering "Carol" on the  buckle.  (Your 
video made me think of that.)  Your story really ought  to be reprinted in 
one of our Club publications for all members to see----if  that would be 
possible.  Look forward to seeing you both at Branson.
300ly, Gil C.

We have  been getting e-mails and telephone calls today regarding our 1957
Chrysler  300 that is in a front page article of the Oregonian Newspaper
along with  pictures. We thought we should share the article with  Club
members.

Last week we drove our 1957 Chrysler 300C Coupe to  Tacoma, Washington to 
the
Chrysler 300 Club National Car meet. When we  stopped in downtown Portland 
on
the way to Tacoma, two ladies stopped to  admire our car and commented on 
it.
Later we found they worked for the  Oregonian newspaper. When we arrived 
home
on Sunday, we received a call  from an Oregonian reporter asking us for an
interview on Tuesday. We said  it was ok. We were surprised that it was such
a long article and it  appeared on the front page of the paper with a 5 x 7
picture of my wife,  Arlys with our 300C, taken September 1958.

You can read the article  which is in today's paper (Friday, Sept 4) :
www.oregonlive.com  ,  click on Portland news or   http://tiny.cc/50years401

The  title is:

A Portland love story:    The car -- and the couple  -- still going strong
after 50 years
by Tom Hallman Jr., The Oregonian  

In addition to the pictures, comments; there is a two minute video. We  have
owned the 1957 Chrysler 300C for 51 years and drove it on our  honeymoon in
July 1959.
