Hi,

Please look for a revision 4 update to be posted before sending any further suggestions.

Gil Cunningham posted the following suggestions that including a correction to the H colors:

A few things I noticed that should be corrected:

---Just my opinion, but I sure do not think the "C" in C300 stood for coupe! It had to stand for Chrysler, as in
Chrysler 300. Perhaps the theories as to its meaning should just be left out.
---The term Beautiful Brute was first used, as far as I know, in Bill Carroll's article in the August,September, and October issues of Road and Track.
---400HP 300Fs---fewer than 15 were made---probably more like 8, of which 4 still exist.
---The 400HP "Short" rams did not look "the same" as the long rams, but they did look similar.
---Colors are wrong for the 300H. The ones listed are 300G. H colors should be Festival Red, Oyster White, Formal Black, and Caramel
300ly, Gil

    I just noticed that the posting on the word document shows that the fourth color offered on the 300H was "mardi gras green"! Did we meant mardi gras red as there wasn't a green color offered on that model year? We only know of two 300H convertibles that came with special order paint. There was a burgundy special order paint 300H that was too far gone and the gentleman that found it, used all the medallion from it and install all on a 62 newport convertible and dropped in a cross ram 413 in it. I can't remember his name now but he had emailed me photos of that donor car as well as the newport with the cross ram. Anybody on here remember who the gentleman is?

Hi To All,

The effort that members contributed to the short histories for the Diamond Jubilee Big Top Tent car placards is in the process of being used to update the 300 Club Int’l website by Bob Merritt.

The table of facts and the descriptive text is undergoing one last review by the perspective letter year consultants.

Noel Hastalis has agreed t o complete a detailed spec sheet that will be used as a poster.

That leaves the full history of the Chrysler 300 from inception through today’s offering. This info will be printed on a 4 ft. tall poster.

Please help us by reviewing the text.

The Word document is posted at

http://www.chrysler300club.com/rcm/GenerationsR2.html

Please download it, review it and edit away with any changes you feel will accurately portray the history of the 300 Marque.

Suggested changes can be e-mailed. OR the document is set up to tract changes (deletions will be strike thrus and additions will show up on the side.)

Make your suggested changes and add your initials to the document's name and e-mail it.

The description of the current offerings is weak. Not sure if there will be a model change by 2015?

Looking forward to your assistance & input.

Tony Rinaldi,

Mark Souders,

Tony Bevacqua
