Re: [Chrysler300] 1955 C-300 Armrests Barbie Syndrome!!

["Terry & Andree Hoeman" <tehoema@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is happening is that they are deteriorating and this is the elasticizer 
coming out as I remember.  Stumbled on to this some years ago when reading 
article called Barbie Syndrome.  The early Barbie's are doing this same 
thing I guess in many cases.

Interesting the only 55's that are doing it for me are my original 300 
rests.   I have many others and they have not done anything---yet!!

I sent a pair to Gary Goers some years ago for him to redye.  Got everything 
in the order but not them and he refuses to tell me what happened to them!! 
Have written many times and asked but no reply at all.

My understanding is that the 56 ones besides being different design are 
different material which doesn't do this.  Hope for the 56 owners sake that 
is true.
