RE: [Chrysler300] 1958 300D - Original Battery

["Terry & Andree Hoeman" <tehoema@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've always understood that the Willard Battery was used in at least the
early 50s.  Picked up a bunch of new condition Willard signs from the local
dealership some years back.

I don't know if this was still true by 1958, but the 1950 DeSoto that my
father bought new came with a Willard Battery.  I think Chrysler Corp. used
several brands of batteries during that time and Willard was one of them.

  I did some reserch to try and find what the original Battery was for my 61
300-G. I read that the original batteries were not Mopar batteries but some
other brand. I have seen some old pictures were you could read Autolite
printed on the battery. I read somewhere that the dealers sold Mopar
batteries as replacements only. Not sure if that is true, maybe someone else
will comment on this.

  Hello guys,

  I've got a photo of my car's engine compartment in 1958 and it looks like
just a plain black battery.

  Does anyone know what battery was factory in 1958? I see repros with the
MoPar logo, but don't know if they are correct?

  THANKS!

  Josh
