[Chrysler300] C-300, sorta; Murietta or bust

[Rich Barber <c300@xxxxxxx>]

While the next reviser/restorer is at it, mights well start with a 
ragtop or a station wagon.  The old cowpoke says you can put your boots 
in the oven, but that don't make 'em biscuits.  However, all should 
recognize, reinforce and defend the mystique of the words Chrysler 
300--after all these years they go together like peanut butter and 
jelly, Roy and Dale, and Amos and Andy.  That make and model on the 
registration, firewall and and VIN tag will add value to the vehicle 
when it is next auctioned off--as will its provenance-whatever the heck 
that is.

Got the C-300 on the new trailer and lashed down (I hope).  Headed to 
Murietta tomorrow via I-5, 58, 138, I-15, I 215.  Any local knowledge of 
better way and/or severity of Santa Ana winds, please respond.  The 
little old lady who kindly lets me store my C-300 in her garage tipped 
her grandfather clock over on my car yesterday.  Barely missed the rear 
window.  It now has an extra wrinkle in the sail panel, but still way 
fewer than me.

C-300'ly,

Brentwood, CA
1955 C-300 (Takes a licking and keeps on ticking!) (and much easier to 
detail the wheels up on the trailer!)
