I have one of the 1960 cowl plates in aluminum if anyone wants to purchase one.

Don't ask me why!! This is confirmed by the presence of two distinguishing part numbers in the parts book. The painted variety are by far the most common. They seem to be rather randomly distributed, VIN wise. The door edge protectors (narrow chrome moldings) were available as part of an accessory group, Accessory Package "A", code 363. That package also included a license plate frame and an inside vanity mirror that clipped to the sun visor. 300ly, Gil C. In a message dated 4/20/2009 5:59:28 P.M.

I got lots of response'es to my question of antenna location on a 300F convertible. Now, I have 2 more questions. I have noticed after looking at several (maybe 6) 300F cars that the cowl vent is sometimes aluminum and natural in color, and sometimes steel and painted body color. Can anyone explain? Next, my car (a 300F convertible)has stainless door edge guards on it. They look very much factory, but my car is the only one I've seen with them. They wrap around the rear edge of the door about 1/4" to prevent the edge from getting chipped if the door bumps something when opening. Are they factory or after market items?
