You are looking at pictures of a 300D.
Any idea what that knob on the steering column is?
Hint: 1958 is the first year for this option.
It is the control for the AutoPilot.
Not many cars were equipped with this so don't feel bad if you are stumped.
Thanks to Allan Moon for these pictures.

One source of wiring diagrams for the old Beasts
(laminated and in full color) is:
http://www.classiccarwiring.com/
. I have used them as a source for several years for the 300K and the
Ram Charger and find the colored version is much easier to read and
follow than the black/white diagrams found in the service manuals and
other sources. For the $17.95 price they are a real bargain.

I think Johnnie sent an e-mail to the club concerning Jim's TV show debut! ha.
When he went to the show at Stan Hywet Hall in Akron this year, his car and five others were chosen to be shown on a SportsTime Ohio show called "Cruise In". This show at Stan Hywet has been
presented on Father's Day for 57 years! The episode is on youtube,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m60-yhKpHxk.
It shows the car very well. He's owned the car since 1991, not for 13 years.
When he watched the video he said he couldn't understand a word he said, which I've been telling him for ages! ha.

The project to repop brake cables for the F, G and the H has been a great success and we have a few pieces left.
The next batch, if we do the next batch, will be higher priced so if you have any interest in a cable, best to get it now.

Gloria Moon repairs a D
distributor in 1995.

Have you ever tried to estimate the time required to make a repair?
I look at the job and guess the time
then change the unit to the next larger unit and then double.
Example:
A four hour job should take eight days.......
Just about right.
