Ray, You hit the nail on the head. That is exactly what this is about. That you have to be determined, smart and creative to keep these old cars going. Sometimes you even have to do a little re engineering on some late model part just to keep your 300 on the road. This will only become more so as 300s become more rare and people's memory of '50s and 60s cars fades. When the 300s were selling for such high prices recently some people said well they are the "new" Dusenbergs. Try to get parts for a Dusenberg at the NAPA store. That is the down side I guess. I think people with 300s are going to have to get used to it.
