[Chrysler300] Markings on heater/radiator hoses for 1957 300C

[Ray Melton <rfmelton@xxxxxxx>]

Does anyone know what markings would have been applied to the heater and
radiator hoses on the 1957 Chrysler 300C?  (Probably same for all the big
hemi Mopars of 1957 - 1958)   Those would likely include a manufacturer like
MoPar, CP/DD, etc., and a P/N, and perhaps a date code.   Wayne Graefen's
"bible" on restoring the 300C alludes to these markings, but he had not yet
defined them by the time of publishing his 6th Edition in 2012.  Of course,
actual photos would be ideal, although unlikely to ever unearth!  That could
reveal things like color, font style, size, spacing, etc., for the true
retentives among us!  (I'm beginning to take that as a compliment!)

 

Several months ago, fellow Club member Paul Holmgren shared a photo of some
original Autolite ignition wires with part number, and I was then able to
make a stencil with that information (and appropriate date code 2 QTR 57) to
mark my own modern wires.  I'm hoping someone out there has an example or
can remember pretty much what markings originally appeared on the heater and
radiator hoses in the '57 - '58 time frame.
