Re: [Chrysler300] A new distinction for the 57 300C

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In those years, there were many cottage industries in and around 
Detroit, I'm told. They produced many of the parts and I imagine there 
were several different providers of most parts. This may be the case 
here. Maybe these grills were produced by several different companies 
if not small shops. I've been told that some of the upholstery was sewn 
in garages in the late evenings as side work.

regards, Ray

All right folks, time's awasting! This'll be a good'un, don't miss it!
Lets get those Meet Registrations in soon, give poor Gloria a break and 
don't wait 'til the last few days. Rooms are going fast...book today!
