Tim,
Nothing is
impossible. Having written that, I only know of one vendor
that can/will reproduce trim code plates (fender tags), and
that vendor requires thorough proof that the car was built
to the specs shown on the plate. Same thing with the VIN
tag. The difference is that the trim code plate can be
removed because it is held on with screws, the VIN is spot
welded to the door jamb. Any tampering with the VIN plate
(removal and reinstallation) is a federal offense and the
person doing it can end up in prison. This does not apply
to new state issued VIN plates of cars with damaged or lost
VIN plates.
There are
300 letter cars out there that have been converted from
coupes to convertibles and the guy that did it tampered with
the plates and served prison time as a result.
I was told I believe by a club member that
the trim.plates can be manufactured to to say anything? That
it is not a reliable source of a actual history?

{Chrysler 300} Mecum report 300G and H
Forgive me as I peck this out on a phone
in a hotel room.
The G at Mecum Kissimmee 2022 is a very
shiny car with glistening chrome and straight panels.
It has that glazed ham look you find when
a muscle car shop unfamiliar with Forward Look cars is
handed a letter car to do. It wears incorrect carpets and
sits entirely too high in the rear. It appears as a car put
together to impress at a sale as the majority of cars here
are.
The public oohs and aahs were
frustrating. But it shows beautifully to those who don't
know it. Its an 888 car (see photos) but the leather they
used is wrong. Overall it is straight and very well
over-done with too many minor details wrong. And yet it will
sell for a breathtaking sum, the rising tide is welcome
notwithstanding the mediocre effort to get details right.
As for the H, it was locked up and
inaccessible. However all four chairs in that car are, as
my friend Kurt said - akimbo. They all appear to be tilted,
mismounted, screwed up, whatever it should be called. Paint
and chrome outside is nice, inside dull and worn in some
areas. A good number two. It will sell for more than most of
us would pay.
