Subject: 300F rear speaker location

Hi, all

I would like to hear back from anyone with 300F hardtop, factory-equipped
with rear speaker and NO rear defroster.   Should you have such a car,
what
is the correct placement of rear speaker ? center hole ?  left hole ?

Unfortunately, the car I am working on was disassembled before it got to
me,
and I have no way of knowing where the rear speaker was originally
located.

Happy holidays !

John

Subject: My Thanks To Everyone of You

Recently, I joined the Chrysler 300 Club International in my quest to
locate
my Dad's '59 E or at least to determine its fate.  I really want to own an
E
and G-d willing, it may happen someday. But that's not why I'm writing.

I'm writing because having become a member of the club and the list has
been
an amazing experience. You folks are wonderful ... and some of you have
been
so INCREDIBLY kind and supportive and helpful as I've tried to learn how
to
go through this tedious and frustrating task of tracking down one
particular
car ... and then tring to find one "like it" that (a) someone is willing
to
sell and (b) we can afford to buy.  Kind of a Catch-22.

I have received the most wonderful letters and words of encouragement from
so many of you ... and please allow me the privilege of passing something
along that many of you probably already know: Gil Cunningham, G-d Bless
him,
is a Treasure.  I am nearly 57 years old and I wept when I read his recent
emails describing the search for Dad's car he undertook, strictly on his
own, after reading (I suppose) my email describing my situation.  There is
no way I could really express to him the way I felt as I read his emails.

I am so touched by Gil's kindness as well as by the kindness of numerous
others of you (forgive me for not mentioning you by name - I don't want to
risk the almost certain outcome of failing to mention someone) ... but I
did
want to say thanks for allowing me to "become part of you" - at least in a
small way.  There is a perfectly pristine E in Birmingham, AL where we
live
and the owner was kind enough to allow me and Dee (my wife of 35 years
TODAY-Sunday, 23 December) to come to his home and look at it. He doesn't
show it any more and it's been garaged for about 6 years, but he fired it
up
for us and it was one of the most wonderful but bittersweet moments of my
life.  I have too much respect for a person's personal property to have
asked if he would consider selling it to us ... but, I can't tell you how
much I've coveted it and thought about it since that day about 2 months
ago.

(Note: Dee went absolutely NUTZ when she saw it and she's not really "a
car
person." She said, we've got to have that car and if we get it, we're
gonna
drive it ... everyday. I'm gonna drive, ' cause I love it."  (I figured
she's be hooked if she ever got to see an 300 and really think about it
:-)

Anyway, I'm trying to figure out a respectful way to say to the owner that
which I am sure he already knows: I'd like a chance to purchase your car
if
you are ever inclined to sell it. I don't know whether to write him a
letter
or simply blurt it out.  Either way, I'm sure he already knows because I
got
this glazed expression on my face as I sat on his driveway and just looked
at that amazing machine for a long time.  I wanted to sit behind the wheel
but ... something stopped me. I suppose it was a combination of disbelief,
awe, respect and not wanting to break the magic of the moment.  Perhaps,
some of you know what I mean?

Anyway, excuse me for rambling ... Thanks again for the newsletters and
the
decal and the notes ... and the interesting messages on the list server
and
for your kindness.

Have a Wonderful Holiday Season and a Great 2002.

With appreciation and a real sense of joy, I remain

Sincerely,

Russ Fine
Birmingham, AL

PS: If you're ever bored over the holidays, surfing the net and are the
least bit curious about who we are, what we do etc., when we're not
chasing
down Chrysler 300s, there's a bio on our site <www.russndee.net>

Subject: '62 Door Handle

On my '62 I have a door handle that works intermittently, from the
outside.

I can see the little lever that releases the gear and sometimes it
releases
and sometimes it just makes a clicking noise and the lever stays where it
is.

The door can always be opened from the inside handle.

Do I need to replace the entire mechanism?  Or is there a fix?

Thanks,
Matt Allyn

Subject: rear speaker location 300F

Hi again,

Thank you all that have responded so far.  I think I need to elaborate
further .

The 300F hardtop I am working on came with a rear speaker from the
factory.
According to Gil Cunningham's microfilm  build code interpretation, this
car
is coded:  # 427 - radio Golden-Tone ( 5-button) including rear speaker.
Therefore the rear speaker was factory-installed, not dealer or owner
installed.

No, I cannot tell from looking at the rear deck where the speaker was
originally positionned. And, yes, in case it does make a difference, this
car did NOT come from factory with a rear defogger. Doesn't have one,
never
did.

So far I have rec'd the following responses:
Keith Langendorfer - rear speaker in CENTER location, no defogger,  car
thus
equipped when new.
Bob Merritt - rear speaker in CENTER location, no defogger .
Wayne Wunderlich - rear speaker located in RIGHT ( passenger) side ( !)
Greg Leggatt - center location ( but no explanation)

For those who care to dig a little deeper, and have had their 300F's
microfilm decoded by Gil, please let me know the radio code and whether
the
rear speaker is documented as factory installed !  Having the locatiomn
information is not enough, I need to know whether the rear speaker in your
300F's was factory-installed, and that info can only be obtained from
microfilm.

I don't want to consider cars that have a rear defogger at all ; the
factory
speaker location for those might be different.

Sorry to be a pest. Appreciate the help.

John

Subject: door windows on 300C

I'm in the process of putting the windows back in the doors(electric).
Everything seem to work fine until I put the back felt rail in place.
Then the window binds up as if there isn't enough room.  I have it
adjusted all the way back.  Anyway I've just thrown up my hands and walked
away for now.  Any suggestions out there on how to get everything lined up
so the windows will go up and down without binding up?

Zak
