Re: [Chrysler300] F stock-car, C-300 travelling-car !

["Johnl" <john@xxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't seen a copy of NITRO Magazine in years.  Probably 12 years ago our
C300 was a feature article in that publication and had a large center fold
that actually folded out.  I had it framed and have it displayed at our
home.  The shoot where the photos came from was actually done by an
Englishman for an English magazine.  I guess he sold the story to Nitro.
Without me knowing it the magazines just showed up in the mail from him.
