Hi All: I initially replied to Rich, but will put this question to all of you. In the listing of available exterior colors, I do not see Silver mist poly, which carried the paint code numbers 221 and 229. I have no idea as to why there were two, or what the applications were that determined which was used in a given circumstance, but I know that 221 was the paint code on the silver anniversary specials. Were there no convertibles painted in that color? Hard to believe, but it is possible. Pete Fitch In a message dated 4/20/2013 2:03:56 A.M.

If not original, please note. A picture of our car, under restoration is attached. Thanks in advance. I’d also appreciate any ideas you have on 14” tires for my Brute. I’m thinking P225/75R14 with 1” WSW would be about right—but nobody seems to have them. If anyone is running bias-ply tires, I’d appreciate knowing the size and brand and how their car handles. I had a ’63 Newport in 1965 or so and recall no problems.

However, I am a little concerned about the type of material used for these reproduction visors. You see, original hardtop and sedan visors were covered in unperforated headliner material (square checked vinyl) and color-keyed to match the headliner. However, original convertible sun visors were covered in seat vinyl and color keyed to match the seat color. My question is this, "What type of material is used on these reproduction convertible visors, headliner vinyl or seat vinyl?"

Bob provided the samples to be patterned from, and I paid for the first set to be built. These are of the highest quality and will past Concours judging, they even include the small chrome end clips with the correct stitching. The pictures of these white 64K visors will be included in Bob's next Chrysler 300 E news due out sometime in June. The visors do not include the chrome mounts, you must reuse yours. On Don's advise I ordered these in white and since I do not own a 64K I will be offering this first set only to our 300 club members at my cost of 104.49, I have only the one set at this price. If you want to order a set for yourself please contact Chris Robbins at Legendary 800-363-8804 extension 222 and mention my name, I believe they are going to be listed in their retail catalog for 113.00 a pair plus shipping and offered in other colors. I will have the White set with me at the St. Louis meet for the clubs inspection and purchase, so it will be another reason for you 64K Vert owners to attend Ed's spring 300 meet. I will also bring the visors that Legendary made in black for my 1965 L convertible so you can see the difference between the 64's and 65's convertibles. I am very impressed with the quality of these replacement visors, and upon inspection, I am sure you will be too. See ya in St. Louis.
