Re: [Chrysler300] Fony "F??"

Hi there. I agree that there were lots of Letter Cars in Auburn but there
wasn't one that I would have said was a Number 1 car.. Personally I have
been trying to buy the cars that are missing from my collection where I am
trying to achieve a full set of Letter Cars starting in 1955 and ending in
1961 and it has been very frustrating trying to find great cars that are
100% correct and that retain their original drive train and original body
and chassis and where both all major mechanical components and body panels
are still the original ones which came with the car the day it left the
factory.

The other major obstacle is that restoring the cars through restoration
shops has become so expensive and time consuming  that I really need to
find freshly restored cars where no corners have been cut and where Judges
from the  300 Clubs have validated the restoration and the originality and
correctness of all of the components.. As if all of this was not enough I
insist on having all of the coupes with factory installed air conditioning.

Please let me know if anybody knows of any cars that correspond to the
above ...

Thanks..
