[Chrysler300] Chasing Our Tailfins

["rob kern" <robkern@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello 300'ly to all!
    Might we be just chasing our tailfins on this thread regarding certifying VINs for letter cars?  We have an excellent archiving and validation operation under the auspices of Gloria & Allan Moon along with Gil Cunningham.
If they validate a letter car it is undisputable. The fact that a letter car is included in the 300 Club International registry should be all that is required to prove authenticity.  This is included in our $20 registration fee. There is always a prompt response from Gloria, et al, regarding a VIN when a letter car is for sale on e-bay, etc. or if a club member finds one in the boonies. The body by ???? situation is interesting to me.  Wayne Graefen in his C Restoration Manual has an interesting article comparing the Duesenberg to the C. Gil Cunningham is mentioned as drawing the parallel of the the C as being equivalent to a post-war Duesenberg.  So to have fun, why not have a C chassis and engine with a body by ????.  Duesenberg did and is truly recognized as such. Just having a mental exercise here. Also isn't there a B convertible being built on the west coast by two of our club members?  This I understand is not a B with the top chopped, but another '56 Chrysler convertible with a B front end clip and hopefully the 354 hemi, etc. What will this be registered as, and how will it be received by the club and titled?  ROB KERN
