Re: [Chrysler300] '57-58 mag article

["Blackbird" <hemichrysler@xxxx>]

It's the November 2001 issue, but I don't recommend anyone buy a back issue.
There are some mistakes, but, most seriously, the majority of the article
gives the clear impression that the feature car is a 300C. She's a D.
Also, there's a snide remark aimed at "sad 300-style Chrysler Cordobas of
the seventies", which can only mean the 1979 300. I like the 1979 300 and
so the dig didn't impress. It seems to me that magazines like this should
ask the owners of specialist cars to write the articles. I could have
written a good factual article about this car and it's sisters. Overall, I
was rather disappointed with the article but I didn't complain because, too
late, it was already published. Pete Grist, the Chrysler club president in
UK, phoned Classic American to voice his own negative feelings toward the
article. On the plus side there's good photography. 'Classic & Sports Car'
magazine did a better job with their article (entitled 'Shine on you Crazy
Diamond') on the car in April 2001.
