Re: VB: [Chrysler300] G question - reply, actual reasearch, VINs, dates, please!

Sorry, all non-G owners, this is the sort of
discussion I was hoping to avoid. Now I've pulled out
some notes...

John, I looked up your convert, it is 198046, so you
agree then.  

Johan, sorry but I'm pretty sure that I have actually
seen 4 cars after yours that have the trunk numbers. 
If I remember correctly, these are 202672, 202875,
203209, and 204895.  (My own 202517 was missing its
decklid.) 

The first car I can document with trunk numbers is
144762, built in mid-December 1960, so that more or
less agrees with the "January 1st, 1961 in showrooms"
theory.  

I am aware early lit shows the numbers, I think this
is the major source of confusion.  I don't think it
means anything.  Maybe they decided to leave the
numbers off, and then buyers complained because they
weren't getting everything they saw in the brochure.

I've been testing this theory with 30-40 300G's I have
seen over the last 10 years, so far it works!

Andy
