RE: [Chrysler300] 300C Grille

["Mitchell, Milton" <milton.mitchell@xxxxxxxxx>]

I beg to differ with your statement about not being able to open the
hood with out the void in the grill. My "C" convert. is all original,
one family owned car that I am the second owner of and I have owned
since 1968 there is no void in my grill and I have no problem opening
the hood, well at least releasing the catch the hood it self seams to
get heaver every year.

My "C" has the void as well;  and, in agreement with John Lazenby, you
could NOT open the hood if present.

   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.
