Re: [Chrysler300] Beats me





All 300-Fs were mfd at Detroit’s Jefferson Avenue plant. My F was sold new thru a dealer in Walnut Creek, CA and has the 3 piece bumper, as does Dan’s and every other F I’ve seen.

Hi,

My 300F was mfg'd in MI  the end of June 1960 and picked up by the original owner.  He lived in Temple City near Pasadena,CA.

I am the second owner.  The front bumper is 3 piece.  Was it considered a CA car or something else????

I'm all but 100% certain that cars sold in California had to have one-piece bumpers, at least in front, by state law. I had a '55 Chevy w/ a one-piece front bumper. Because all the '55s I had seen had three-piece bumpers, I tracked down the reason.

The 1960 front bumper.
Were there two styles? 
I checked the FSM and Hollander's interchange.
Both show the same three piece design -- center section
and right - left bumper wing extensions.
But I dimly remember there might have been a different style,
possibly a one piece. 
Anybody know?


In the Letter Car days of 1955-1965, where did Chrysler
make its money? 
I've heard that Imperial convertibles were losers
due to the work required for so few units, but
justified by the need to maintain an entry in that
market segment. 
This leads me to wonder if  Letter Cars 
were money makers
or money losers for the corporation?

These questions keep me awake at night.
The answers? 
Beats me.

Now that I think about it, maybe the best place
to find answers is the Minnesooooooota meet.
Another reason to make your plans to attend.
July 3 deadline is next Wednesday.

See you there.
Bob
