I really think you guys should be really happy that
these cars are finally starting to comand the prices
they deserve.  Were talking about rare machines that
are few and far between.  I read an article many years
ago in a magazine that predicted that one day Chrysler
300's would be the Duesenbergs of the '50's.  In terms
of value and collectibility.  I just hope that the
trend continues and carries over into the other year
300's.  If things like this keep happening, 300's will
be one of the most sought after and highly collectible
cars around.  Don't fight it, welcome it.
