Philippe,
I've been looking through your May Rally  report and photo display, and
have 
been wishing I were in attendance. You've done an excellent job telling
the 
story of your weekend in pictures. 

It is obvious your group shares great camaraderie, and that you each  had
a 
great time for the weekend, with your Chryslers. 

My interest heightened with the '34 Chrysler and the '62 Imperial as well
as 
your '57 convertible, and all the beautiful scenery.

Thank You for the report, keep us all informed of activities and maybe
some 
of us will make it over for next year's event!

Ron...

Subject: RE: '60 promos

Hi Dave,

As far as I am aware, the only models of '60 Chryslers were of NY 2 door
hardtop and convertible.  They came as kits, customizing kits, and promos.
The promos typically had fixed hoods, no chassis detail, and often a
friction motor.  The kits had removable hoods and engine / chassis detail.
Customizing kits offered decals, custom parts etc. as well as the stock
parts.  The only model I know about of a 300F is a 1:43 scale white metal
model of the convertible done by Western Models of England.  I believe it
is long out of production, but might be found by trolling model car expos.

Hope that helps,
Doug
Boulder Creek, CA

To the knowledgable 300 group...... someone always knows,
    I see plenty of '60 NY'ers, DeSotos, Plymouths and Dodges, from
Jo-Han, my buddy has one with working torsion bars for his '59 Dodge. Some
have friction drive, some not. Were the friction drive models actually
promos?  Or toys?   And....model buffs.... was there a factory authorised
300F promo?   Or indeed any 300F models/promos made in '60.
     Or just New Yorkers ?
                              Thanks..........
                                          ..........Dave.

Subject: racer heaven

Hi to all,

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the death of Bob Grossman .
Perhaps some of you "old-timers" will remember Bob from his car-racing
days.
Or from his specialty-car dealership in  New York City in the 1960's, and,
more recently, in the Hamptons.  Or for the many, many sketches and
drawings
of automobiles that Bob loved to make, and give away to friends and
acquaintances. I have one such treasured drawing depicting various
Chrysler
cars, hanging right above my computer as I type this message to you, which
Bob generously offered to me a very few years ago, knowing my love of
Mopar
cars.  Many such sketches adorn the walls of local garages where Bob was a
frequent visitor, and well-loved everywhere.

Bob Grossman will be remembered for his association with Briggs Cunningham
and  Alfred Momo. He raced at LeMans in the early sixties,  Ferraris and
then Jaguars with the Cunningham team. He was a local figure in the
Hamptons, and settled here in part to be close to his beloved
Bridgehampton
race track ( which also exists no more ) .   He was always active in our
hobby, as recently as last September when he and Bill Beutel started off
the
Bridgehampton Road Rallye, in which John Doyle and I participated. ( see
picture at http://www.crossrams.com/brr2001/MVC-014S.JPG  )

To read an interesting and amusing  interview of Bob Grossman, relating
his
LeMans experiences and association with Briggs Cunningham, please click
on:
http://www.westnet.com/~mfrank/grossman.html

He will be missed.

John

Subject: Tom Gerrard's 300's

Greetings everyone!
  I have been emailing back and forth to Tom the last few days and he
regrets to inform us he has a prior commitment to attend in August so he
won't be able to bring the 300's to Kalispell. I will endeavor to get some
photos of the cars as he has invited my wife and I to drop in later this
month. We plan on taking him up on his invite- I can't miss an opportunity
like that! I have never met him but he sounds like quite the gentleman and
I am really looking forward to meeting him and viewing the Letter cars and
the 40 other cars he has. He stated that he will put at least one 300
event on his 2003 calendar. I will keep you posted! If he gives me the go
ahead I will post photos, but only w/ his permission, as I respect
people's right to privacy.  Joe Pierce 300K, 300K cvt. and others....

Joe,
Thank you for offering up the photo shoot, ... with permission of course.
I 
would love to see that 'E' you described a few weeks back! 
Thanks also for the respect factor!

Went on trip to carolina and checked the local yard in
columbia SC. found a good unbroken pair of tailite
bezels and one left front turn signal bezels . They
show age but are not pitted in the classic sense and
will make excellent cores for chroming. Interested
parties forward me personally .  Thanks Kevin Adams

Subject: 413 bolt question

1962 413 top alternator bracket slider adjustment bolt.
The one that goes into the water pump housing seemed to have decided to
break off while Jennifer was driving this afternoon.
 
Who can tell me what the bolt size is and do I use a flat AND lock
washer?
Who has suggestions on how to drill it out, with out pulling the
radiator?
 
Thanks!
Matt Allyn

Hi Bruce,
If you are willing to ship them off to me, I will take them over to the
young 
man that did the interior in my car. He's very good, and has done the 300s
of 
other Club members as well!
Lemme know
Ron ...
