Subject: New Magazine
I just came accross a new car mag called Octane. Its a bit expensive,
about
30 miles worth of driving my C-300, but quite good. Lots of articles
about
cars and car stuff. Issue #2 has a cover of D and C Jags with Stirling
Moss
commenting on the cars. Nothing Mopar but worth a look if you like car
stuff.

Hi:
does any one know if there is a rebuild kit, or a place that rebuilds the
power unit on the 62 300H? I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Subject: Ken Mack
The September 2003 edition of Cars & Parts has an article on the Walter P
Chrysler Museum.
Our own Ken Mack was the tour guide for which Cars & Parts wrote:
"He's both congenial and knowledgeable, and was instrumental in the
establishment of the (Walter P Chrysler) museum."
A long time member of our club, Ken has also been a key player in our 300
club repro parts projects.
It is good to see Cars and Parts giving Ken the recognition he deserves
for
the WPC Museum and
I'd like to add an "ATTABOY" for his work with our club.

Nice article indeed about Ken Mack. The article states that Ken is
recently retired. Hopefully he will have more time to devote to his car
collection and to his club activities. He will not have direct access to
DaimlerChrysler and its parts assistance, but he probably will have some
influence through friends still in the company.
Happy retirement, Ken.
300ly,
Don Warnaar

Subject: Brake shoes for letter cars
Hi group,
Got a bit of a shock when I went to Wakefield Brake/Stopping Products
(Wakefield, MA) today to drop off some brake shoes from my 57 for
relining/contouring, and found them to be closed as the owner had passed
away this summer.
Don Verity and I have been going there for some years now (myself almost
20!), so I can't remember ever buying brake shoes for my 57 or 61 or my
wifes 62. I would bring my original shoes and drums to Wakefield Brake,
and they would reline them and contour them to the drums (no garbage truck
sounds) for a very reasonable price.
I then stopped at my friendly NAPA store and had my behind the counter
buddy spend about 1/2 an hour looking in old catalogs and making phone
calls, only to be told that the shoes were no longer available (even for
the 62!).
So, what to do- does anyone know of a brake place that will still reline
shoes?
Or, am I at the mercy of the big buck places in Hemmings?
I guess I was grapling with the concept of my getting older, but it really
hits home when friends and resources in the hobby that you've come to rely
on for years start to disappear.
Any suggestions appreciated.
John

And unlike the Jr. Fuhrer guide WE had at the Plymouth meet, I'll bet he
didn't tell everyone which way to walk on each floor of the museum.

Dear, dear Pete,
You went on a tour? We were late because we wait for all the latecomers
at
the motel (good excuse, huh?). We avoid tours as a rule. 300 owners
should
avoid being herded like sheep. Chevy owners need tours.

I have had rare shoes (like my C300 and my son's M37) relined through the
local NAPA store. The price was not outrageous. Suggest check with NAPA
store and see if this service is still available AND be extra careful sure
that premium highway lining is spec'd no matter who does the job.
We now use Arizona Brake & Clutch in Phoenix, AZ, and they have done
satisfactory work rebuilding big brakes, little brakes and clutches for
us.
Their business is mostly medium and heavy truck which is why I make
mention
of them as such a service should be available in a larger city close to
you
that has truck terminals.

No Gloria - we didn't go on a tour. MOST of us got there before
the
museum opened, and we had to wait for them to unlock the door. When they
did,
we were met by someone whose name should have been "Fritz" or "Heinz" or
something like that. On any event, he counted us to make sure there
weren't too
many, and then instructed us that on the first floor, we were to walk
counter-clockwise, and that on the second floor, we were to walk
clockwise. Honest - he
actually said that.
When we found out that there were more cars in the basement, we got
totally confused because we didn't know which way to walk down there, so
we
walked all over the place and waited for the walk police to show up.

AND those of us who were nit-picking the displays found mixed responses
to our pointing out the discrepancies in the various displays.
To this day I wonder if the ones I spotted were ever corrected!
