Re: [Chrysler300] Gilles Guinee french member

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Hi All:
I had the pleasure of meeting Gilles at the Rochester, NY meet in the Fall  
of 1987 where I gave him a ride in my "H" convert.  Since, we  have 
corresponded on occasion by both regular and email.  Still have some  of his 
special envelopes with a drawing of a 300F on them, and always with some  special 
issue stamps.  Recently he had asked for my advice on getting his  "F" back 
on the road after many years
.  
There is one very special thing from Gilles I will always remember from his 
 email the day after the terrible tragedy of 9-11:  "Today we are all  
Americans".
 
He will be missed.  My condolences to Karin and his children.
300ly,
Gil Cunningham

I had  the pleasure of helping Gilles with some parts several years ago,.   
and we continued our correspondence from time to time.  He was a very  nice 
 
man who, as Rafael says, was totally dedicated to restoring his  F. I 
extend  
my sympathies to his family and the French club as  well.

Today I  had a sad news, a long time french member Gilles  Guinee passed 
away from a  sudden heart attack ,he was less than  50.
Gilles had a 300F he found in  1982 nearby his place in the west  side of 
France.
I met him about 20 years  ago because I wanted to  buy his car but he 
always 
refused to sell it. So  instead of getting  a car I got a friend. He was a 
very nice and friendly guy,  his  lifetime dream was to achieve the 
restoration of his 300F.
He has  never  been daunted by the difficulties of such an extensive  
restoration project. By  the beginning of this year he was very  exited 
because a 
friend was helping him  to have the car running and  after all these years 
,at 
last the D day seems to  be  closer.
Unfortunately he will never have the luck to drive his  cherised  car 
before 
leaving.
I will never forget the trip we made  together to  Goowood england where we 
were involved in the letter car  parade on the race  track. He was like a 
kid 
in a toy store.
He is  survived by 3 young children  and his wife Karin.
