Subject: Re: Chrysler news from California
Sorry to go here again !!!!
Seems like positive comment from Chrysler's latest offerings - but has
anyone OFFICIALLY TOLD CHRYSLER THAT SOME/MOST?!! 300C OWNERS, THE CLUB ?!,
WOULD PREFER THEY DID NOT RE-USE 300C NAME ON NEW 4 DOOR MODEL ?! Please do
it- they do not have to agree/listen, but at least someone has told them
some are not happy - I mean without us saving/using the 300s, who would know
what they are/were???!!!
I note a comment subsequent to my last, re Ferrari re-using their famed
Testarosa name on a later lessor version (TV's "Miami Vice" era I believe?)
- at least this was a 'highest for it's day' high performance V12 2 door GT
version, and they did not specifically try and pass it off as the
original'?!
(And not wishing to go down new tracks, most Ferraris seem to have a 'mystic
and legend' that is greater than the car when you come to own or drive one -
even the famed/revered 70s Daytona was a magnificent engine, but in a car
that drove 'bigger' than most US cars below 70 mph. I am perhaps
prejudiced, owning a 70s Lambo, but even this was only after the first two
of the same model of these I drove were major disapointments, it taking a
good original low mileage car to show how it was all supposed to be - bloody
magnificent once over 25 mph, that magic howl, and rush in every gear, total
lack of wind noise over 70 mph, that race car steering feel, etc..)
And for 300 C lovers, drove a 120K mile '58 Cadillac sedan De Ville the
other day - it drove scarey compared to Chrysler's new '57 torsion bar front
end - like you wouldn't want to swerve/brake suddenly at over 70 mph. I own
a 58 Cad convertible (for 24 years now), and this 4 door sedan was so very
'loose' compred to my 2 door - maybe apart from stronger convertible
chassis, my convert has/had stiffer front/rear springs - whatever, any of
you that have seen that '57 Chrysler dealer tape of comparisons to '57 GM
cars, you better believe it, you can tell it as soon as you are moving, turn
the wheel, brake.
Enough for now, brialliant mid 20sC autumn sunny days here is Australia,
petrol now back down around 81c per litre, my 300s sitting idle as i use my
open cars, but cooler predicted for weekend so looks like my usual 300
driving fun is not far off.

Hi Christopher,
I did express "our" opinion last week, in person, to a
D/C fellow involved in product planning and PR. He
said it's up to the VP of marketing, and he's changing
his mind on a "daily basis." Although as it stood last
week, "300C" it's going to be. That guy wasn't there,
but I'll probably see him next month, and I can take
one more crack directly at him, but its probably too
late.
I don't think our opinion matters. I imagine letter
car enthusiasts only accounted for a few dozen 300M
sales.

For one thing, everyone who has an original C will have to clarify whether
its a 'new C' or an 'old C' in any conversations.

Subject: Master Cylinder Acting Up
I've replaced the wheel cylinders on my C-300 and flushed the system and
replaced the fluid with silicone type. (I like the silicone brake fluid
cuzz it does not absorb moisture which we have a lot of here on Oregon.)
But after I drive the car a bit, the petal gets very hard, the brakes drag
and the stop lights stay on. Hmmm.... So I just crack the fitting loose on
the master cylinder, I get squirt of fluid and all is fine for a while. I
suspect it's a check valve problem in the master cylinder, but before I go
tearing into it, anyone have sage advice?

Frank,
It is possible that one of your brake flex lines is in need of replacement. I have seen and heard of this problem being caused by the rubber flex line constricting on the inside. When were the flex lines replaced last?

Subject: Re: Master Cylinder Acting Up
Frank,
My knowledge of your brake system is squat (I have a 66/300). I had a
similar problem when I converted to discs a while back. Turned out the
compensating port in my new dual compartment master cylinder was blocked
(which kept pressure in the brake lines). The 66 brake push rod has some
adjustment. Not sure about yours. I fiddled with the length adjustment of
the pushrod until the compensating port was clear. Also a few moons ago I
bought a rebuilt master cylinder that had a faulty residual pressure valve,
which also caused a similar problem.

No, not a new "C" or and old "C".
They will have to clarify between a stupid ill-conceived marketing ploy of a fake 'wannabe' and the real thing!
Calling the new 300 a C is even more dumb than calling Chryslers of 1993 to 2000 LHS's. Even after many years of LHS's nobody knows what it stands for except the management team that put it on both sides of the car. They are long gone so we will never know.
My own theory is it meant LHS (Left Hand Side). They never did a RHS (Right Hand side) because they had no confidence the assembly workers could do it right on both sides, so they just did it wrong on both sides. Nice car though, and a real bargain now that's a Concorde.
