As the dust settles from our meet in Macungie, I hear it was quite an event. We will prepare
the event report as photos come in, no doubt by the time E-News #22 hits the air October 30.
Our event report for our Bentonville meet of April
is complete and can be found
here.
A pictorial of Chryslers at Carlisle 2015 is here.
We have a new web page for you. It started out
to be a summary of the projects from our club's Repop Parts Committee but grew to include
anything else that might be useful in the restoration, so now we call it the "One Stop Shop" page.
This newsletter is for you. Let us know what you'd like to see.
Your opinions are always welcome and you can

here for the feedback form.

I am French and I find a photo of my father's 300,
taken in the beginning of the sixteen.
I would have your expertise to find the exact convertible model, and color.
Our 300E consultant Bob Brown replies:
From the photo it looks like a 59E 300
(as far as the back and badging indicate) but obviously the grill and 300 badge on
the front is not identifiable. Silver was not a standard 59E color, but it is possible.
The only verified silver one I have ever seen was owned by Robert Young of Maryland and sold
to a Florida collection (which promptly painted it black!).
This car is pictured on a 300 book published several years ago.
It was made special for the 1959 NY Auto Show, and to my knowledge was
the only one of that color. It had a special code ID for the paint color, I think it was Sheffield
silver. Without a look at the build sheet or ID tag, it is not possible to
know if this one is factory correct or not. From the photo the interior doesn’t look exactly correct for this 300
either. I suspect someone repainted it, but there is a slim change it could have
come in silver, they obviously built at least one.
