Re: [Chrysler300] 58 300D stuff and F.I.,too!

In response to #3:
I just received in the mail a few days ago a catalog called " the 
Chrysler Gallery, No. 1". There are a lot of really nice things that 
you can purchase from this catalog. Two of the items are a 1942 
Chrysler Town & Country and a 1957 300 C 1:24 scale die-cast cars. 
These are both Danbury Mint cars.
There are many nice black and white pictures of Chrysler Corp. 
cars, including a 1941 Newport, 1941 Thunderbolt interior and some 
people working in the Chrysler Design Studio in 1940. I did find an 
error in the caption of one of the pictures. On page 10 of this catalog 
it shows a picture of a 300 F conv. The caption reads: " Only 248 
Chrysler 300F convertibles were built in 1961". I always thought the 
300 F was built in 1960.
Has anyone else received this catalog and noticed this? I am not 
sure if Chrysler is doing this catalog or if this is an outside company 
offering these items for sale with the Chrysler logo on them. It would 
be nice to see accurate information on Chrysler vehicles, especially the 
letter cars.
I think the two die-cast cars mentioned above are still available 
from Danbury Mint.

300ly,
Gil Boucher
