[Chrysler300] Cars & Parts Article

["Don Warnaar" <300country@xxxxxxx>]

Hi John (and all on the list),

Just received the April issue of Cars & Parts magazine.  Very nice article about your 1955 Imperial.  The author incorporated some appropriate references to the C300.  Congratulations on the fine article and for the exquisite restoration of the Imperial.  Although the pictures do capture the car very well, I'm sure the car looks even more spectacular in person.

I think they misspelled Christie's name, but I imagine she is used to that.

Just a fine car.

  The 300B at Coddington's belongs to Gary Meadors of the Goodguys.  It has
  been at Boyd's for sometime now.  The original frame has been removed and is
  now owned by someone else.  I don't know if they want it known so I will not
  say who.

  A tube type frame was built and originally I think a Viper engine was to be
  installed.  Now I think the original 300B motor has been rebuilt and is
  waiting to go back in.  This car I think came from the Phoenix area and had
  a 3 speed manual trans although not original to the car.

  Probably a year ago I went to one of his Saturday morning cruises at his
  shop which is about 10 miles from my home.  Just by chance I was driving our
  300B that day.  I arrived late and had to park way in the back.  As I could
  find a spot I move the car to the front until I was parked on the front
  line.  Boyd came over and looked at the car and his first comment was how he
  could cut the steering wheel diameter down for a street rod set up.  Needles
  to say I was not impressed with that statement.

  At the end of the event they have drawings for a set of his wheels and other
  items.  Also Boyd picks his favorite car at the event and it receives a One
  Off Billet Award.  There were some exceptional street rods in attendance and
  I was dumbfounded when he called my name for the award.  He did make some
  very complimentary comments regarding our B.

  Over the years we've won many trophies and awards for our cars and frankly
  I'm not much into that. If my wife Christie is with me I'll ask her to go
  and accept the award as I don't like the fanfare. To me the car is the
  trophy and having the people enjoy seeing it is what makes me happy.  This
  was one that I'm rather proud of so I do have it on display at my home.
