FYI , that clock spring rate differs , if you have 150 speedo , you cannot use “120 guts “ to fix .  For sure on F  

Did that —-huge waste of time . Spring “ rate “ on 150 differs ,  does not track scale with 120 guts . DONT touch clock spring !!!!  Ever for any reason . Once bent in any way you are done .

Ps , I learned 1000 rpm input is 60’mph on almost all speedo  . Use white tape strip 

on drill chuck and optical rpm reader . 

I use toothpick in chuck to drive it 

But with wrong ( 120 ) clock 

spring rate it will not track on 150 scale . Cannot be “adjusted “ to track 150 

FYI , jkg

I have a C, ser. no. 3N571614 with 120 speedo. The story goes, if a C was coming down the assembly line and they had no 150 MPH speedo, guess what got installed.

Andrew,

 

It’s 571342, seen in our News-Flite #164, so not a super early build. 

 

Curious also that -001 has a 140 mph speedo, among other unique features.

From Wayne Graefen's  1957 Chrysler 300 C Handbook;

"A number of 300 Cs apparently came with 120 MPH speedometers."

See page 4 in the section Authenticity.

As you noted the 120 MPH Speedometer, (mistakes were often made.) What's up with the toggle switch and red light on the left side of the dash ? Just wondered.

Here's a new video of our Club member friend Randy Guyer's all original 300-C convertible - with a little Cold War history discussion intertwined. I'm sure you'll notice the 120 mph speedo in the dash instead of the typical 150 mph speedo - assuming this C rolled off the assembly line this way.

 

Those of us that attended the Fall 2019 Minneapolis Meet that Randy hosted will remember seeing this convertible, still wearing its 35+ year accumulation of dust from sitting silent in a warehouse all those years near Milwaukee.

A newly posted video [from Two Guys and a Ride] of my 1957 Chrysler 300C convertible. A bit long at around 25 minutes but I think/hope you’ll find it interesting, informative, and entertaining.
