I've got to chime in here on
Carl's statement:
6) In the ninth generation
section (‘99-‘04) there is no mention of the 300M Special (which actually was
special in features and equipment). Ninth and tenth generation sections
seem incomplete. As our club does not include these cars, should they be
covered at all?
How can we NOT include mention
of these cars in the write up? I accept and recognize the
fact that the Chrysler 300 Club International only recognizes letter cars built
between 1955 and 1965, plus the 1970 300 Hurst for judging and support purposes,
but to pretend the later 300s don't exist, does them, and our proud 300
heritage, a disservice in my view. The 300 Sport models are mentioned, why not
the cars with a letter built after 1965? Go ahead, bring on
the flames, I'm wearing protective gear.

you) and a 2006 300C Heritage edition with a Hemi
1) The last sentence for the first
generation introduction section (‘55-‘56) is a fragment, like a final
thought may have been missing.
2) In the “300-H” section it
is mentioned that the H had the “best power to weight ratio of any of the letter
cars.” While that was true up until 1962, the Ram K was probably the
actual best, followed closely and/or tied by the J, based on advertised dry
weights and the advertised horsepower. In that same section it says that
“1962 was the worst selling year for the letter car.” Maybe on a calendar
year basis (I don’t know), but on a production basis it was actually it was the
J in 1963.
3) In the fourth generation
(‘63-‘64) introduction it states that the “the convertible returned to the
Letter Series for 1964 , but the 300-K was otherwise identical to the
300-J.” That is most certainly not true. We 300 nuts are picky about
details like that.
4) The features listed for
1967 were optional at extra cost and not standard.
5) The 1970 section lists
Hurst production at both 501 and 485. There seems to be some leftover
verbiage from an earlier rendition that need editing.
6) In the ninth generation
section (‘99-‘04) there is no mention of the 300M Special (which actually was
special in features and equipment). Ninth and tenth generation sections
seem incomplete. As our club does not include these cars, should they be
covered at all?
Some minor grammatical corrections
and overall editing are still required.
