[Chrysler300] Current News Flight Issue #161





I opened up the latest News Flight issue that came in the mail.
In turning to the 1st page....
I saw the article about the Chrysler 300X; built by Gene Winfield in the 1960's.

About 25 years ago, I met Gene at his shop in Canoga Park; one night after I left my day job.
I needed a pair of chrome bullets for some 1955 Oldsmobile hubcaps I was running on my daily driver; a lowered 1950 Chevy Biz Coupe and he had them for sale.  There was Gene, working alone on a car.  I bought the bullets and we set them up on the caps & the car.  I then asked if I could come work with him in the evenings, for free, to learn from him.

From there I spent a couple of years driving to his shop in the evenings to help work on his wares.
I (poorly) filmed & edited an instructional video of him him chopping a 1950 Mercury.
I hung out with him in his shop and at car shows he would attend.

And when my wife needed her car painted; he painted it.
It is her 1962 Chrysler 300 Sport.
He painted it the stock Caramel (though with a White Roof) and when it was done, Gene exclaimed;
"Hey!  I think this is the only STOCK car I have ever painted!"

He's still going strong at 92 and still painting custom cars!
Anyways.....Thanks to whoever for throwing in the article about the 300X!
