Re: [Chrysler300] 390hp 300C Road test car?

[Rich Barber <barber@xxxx>]

Hi, 300 Aficionados:

I can't help with this question, but would ask of the historians whether 
anyone remembers or has a copy of an old Tom McCahill article on early 
300's that stated the 300's had been used as pursuit cars on the 
Pennsylvania turnpike in the mid-50's. As a teen, I was impressed by 
the cars and the story and seem to recall a detail that nothing ever out 
ran their 300's--except a big Mercedes Benz, driven by a German 
national. My memory (perhaps faulty) of that story continues to fuel my 
current interest in acquiring a C300 or a 300B. I'd be grateful for any 
leads on the story or the cars.

In the mean time,
MoPa'r to ya.
