> 300 Lovers,

   Quite a few years ago while attending one of the 300 meets, a writer for one
   of the automobile magazines was in attendance. One of his comments was
   that the Chrysler 300 letter cars may well be the Duesenberg of the future.
   Was he prophetic ? 
   My outlook is drive it, enjoy it, and let your kids worry about the value when you
   can get all the 110 octane you want, free.
