Hi Bob;

Highlight all the light blue type, copy it paste it into a text edit page and select all and using the font colors, change it to black.

I did this faster than I could type it.

I had no problem reading the blue, but some might I guess.

Jack,

 

I'd love to be able to read your post, but small, light blue text on a white background just makes it too difficult.  Could you change your font settings?

 

Thanks!

I should add some  germane facts:

 

Joe Huber and his father, the owners of the dealership and C300 are both most definitely deceased. They lived their entire lives between Albuquerque and Madrid (about 50 miles).

 

The C300 was sold after or near Joe Jr.’s death. Huber Motor Co. was the 3^rd largest dealer by volume in New Mexico. They sent salesman all over NM to hotel rooms to sell cars, then the buyer’s came to Madrid to pick their car up. Lower overhead and one on one approach worked to sell lots of Mopars from 1935 to 1956 when Huber closed. BTW, I have the ‘53 to ‘56 service bulletins from the parts dept.

 

The building was small and had a one car showroom. Madrid (pronounced maa-drid, not may-drid) went from boomtown to ghost town between 1920 and 1950. The C300 sat in the service bay, not moving much if at all from 1955 to 198?. I seem to recall a transport took the car away when it sold.

 

If you are movie buff there have been several movies filmed in Madrid, from David Bowie’s The Man Who Fell to Earth, during the ghost town era all the way up to the last 1/3 of Wild Hogs with Tim Allen during the now resurrected ‘artist community’ period.

 

Still looking for the car and I do not have the Ser. # and I can’t think of a way to get it?

 

Thanks again for the responses.  …Jack

Anyone know the whereabouts of the platinum C300 sold new in Madrid, New Mexico by Huber Motors and remained there until the 80’s?

 

It was owned by Mr. Huber himself and his son, Joe sold it out of state. (he also sold the sister car a ’67 HEMI GTX)

 

Any leads appreciated.

 

…Jack
