Car of the Week: 1957 Chrysler 300C

Found! 1957 Chrysler 300C worth the wait

Bob Brown and George Collar of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., have been collecting “Letter Cars” for decades — especially convertible versions. By “Letter Cars,” they mean big-finned Chrysler 300s (300-D, 300-E, 300-F, etc.) and Chevrolet Corvettes (C1, C2, C3). Other big-finned MoPar products from Dodge, De Soto and Plymouth have joined the fray, but throughout their years of collecting, Brown and Collar have never been able to land a 1957 Chrysler 300C, the first year that fins on Chrysler Corp. cars really took off toward the sky.

They were beginning to think a 300C just wasn’t meant to be.

Last chance at a closed yard

Clock is ticking to purchase Missouri yard’s project and parts cars

As you enter the small community of Theodosia, Mo., from the west on State Highway 160, one of the first things you’ll notice is an old Fiat sedan sitting atop a building marking the location of Ray Jackson’s recycling and auto salvage business. The faded orange Fiat is lettered with the name of Jackson’s business, and if you ask him, he’ll reveals that it was hoisted to the top of the building using a front-end loader.

Jackson was born and raised in Texas. In 1965, he opened a used car lot, a recycling and salvage business with a portable crusher and a trucking business. After 16 years, he sold that multi-faceted business and in 1981, he bought some property just outside Theodosia and opened his current recycling and salvage business.

10 Questions With… Jim Grundy

Insurance boss watches the hobby like a hawk from many directions

Grundy Insurance, headquartered in Horsham, PA., has been specializing in insuring collector cars since 1947, pioneering the idea of “agreed value” policies that work with car owners to determine a car’s worth. Grundy’s program has insured more than 1,500,000 collector vehicles through leading A++, A+, and A rated carriers. Many collectors and their insurance agents consider Grundy to be the preeminent agent for serving the serious collector. Grundy also provides M.V.P. Classic Boat, Special Collections, and Special Client Services program coverage.

Company CEO Jim Grundy always has his finger on the pulse of the hobby. It’s both his job and a passion — he’s a devoted hobbyist himself. He’s also a fun guy to talk cars with. Old Cars recently caught up with Jim and gave him our “10 Questions With …” treatment.

Hauling interest: final-gen El Caminos are picking up steam

At the recent W. Yoder Auction in Wautoma, Wis., approximately 70 vehicles crossed the block and most sold. We noticed that an above-average percentage were Chevrolet El Caminos and realized that the great majority of those were final-generation 1978 to 1987 models. That sounds like a new car-collecting trend to us.
