Re: [Chrysler300] 300C Grille

["Johnl" <john@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Owen,

Our 300C, 3N572973 was built in June or July which is about 66% through the production run if I did my math correct.  The grill has the missing piece as you describe, but I have no way of knowing if the grill is original to the car.  I also have a spare grill that I'll look at later today.  

I've always thought that this was "factory correct" and the question I would pose if there is a fixed upright in that position how does one release the hood?  Once again it just shows how much we really don't know about the mark.
