I was recently commenting about a vehicle I saw several years ago while attending the Michigan State Police Vehicle Performance Trials. It was in the parking lot area of Grattan Raceway in Grattan, Michigan. It was a black Dodge magnum and bore manufacturer license plates. Upon closer inspection, I noticed it had a modern Chrysler 300 front end and there was a diesel badge on the tailgate. Found out later it was probably a European market car.
My friend commented back that this reminded him of an article he saw many years ago. It was a 300D station wagon. This fellow knows his letter cars, as he has owned several over the years. Anyone out there have knowledge of a 300D wagon??

Gloria Moon writes: Yes there was a 300D station wagon. Dark blue. One of the Iwinski clan made it, probably Joe or Dave. I think we saw it at the Irwin meet and at Falls Church VA meet in the early 70s. There are pictures somewhere I'm sure. It garnered a lot of attention and was a fun thing for them to have made and driven.

I asked family members. Dave's son (Tom) says:
Yes, the Iwinski's did own a 300D station wagon. But they didn't build it, Dave bought it from somewhere east… NJ or MD. We have pictures and slides of it. I helped scrap it out. It was a bark blue 58 Plymouth Station wagon with a 300D front clip and side trim with medallions. The 300 front clip appeared to be a bolt on change without body modifications. The reason the car was purchased was because it was built on a 57/58 Chrysler convertible frame with the massive X central cross member. Dave wanted the frame for his 57 300C convertible because his car had a badly cracked frame that had been patched too many times. That's one reason it was off the road for so long. The frame from the station wagon was the frame in the convertible that Dave sold overseas. The car had a blue Plymouth 4 door interior; not the fancy leather from a 2 door 300D.

It was a Plymouth station wagon with 300 front end. No engine. Came out of Maryland. Dave and I hauled it back on a trailer with my, then new, 1975 International 200 pickup. Which also came out of Maryland. Tom was correct it was needed for the frame. Never driven, nor at any shows while we owned the hulk.

I found this picture while going through some old Polaroids (this was '75). Notice how high the front end is sitting? No engine.
