Re: [Chrysler300] We have a flocking winner !

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Dear Flockmeister and All:
Whoa---there is a little more to this.  Not ALL 300F convertible top  
hydraulic cylinder end covers are flocked.  I have the originals for my  early car (# 
119884) and they are carpeted!  The carpet is cut and stitched  to allow it 
to conform to the curved surface of the covers, bound in  matching black vinyl 
and glued to the cover.  I do not have the originals  for my later car 
(#146407) with the blue 888 interior, but was going to do them  the same way using 
Gary Goers' repro covers.  Now I wonder if the  change to flocking was a running 
change, or was it put into effect with the  300G???  John, I take it your 
300F is flocked?  It is an earlier car  than my later one.  Anyone out there with 
an ORIGINAL 300F convert that can  shed a little more light on this?  Thanks.
300ly, Gil Cunningham

Hold the  calls, we have a winner!  I sure hope y'all enjoyed the  trivia
question and topic as much as I did.  Announcing the losers  first: 

George Clineman: you are WRONG but we won't be taking your 300  away from you
- this time.   Quarter window weatherstrip is not  flocked on a 1960, 1961 or
1962 letter car. I believe this was done in  earlier years, though. 

Ron Fedoryk and Tom Cox and Gary Holm: you are  both reprobates and both
WRONG as well; gloveboxes are not flocked in 300F,  G or H models. 

Dan Reitz: good guess, but not correct. The rear/inside  portion of the trans
pushbutton / turn signal switch bezel is painted  black, not flocked. Just
checked a NOS one to make sure. 

Tony  Rinaldi: maybe your nuts are flocked, but nobody else's are, I can
assure  you. Neither are the bolts.  And you of all people should know  the
answer, Tony, since you own a convertible. Tony, you ARE the weakest  link.
'bye....

Joe Gross:  that was funny!  your ex-wife  .....  congrats for that one...

Rich Barber:  honorable  mention for the reference to Tim Flock. How
appropriate!

And the  winner is:  Mike Meyer.   Just goes to show that the 1962  model-year
consultant is really on the ball. The correct answer is:   convertible-only;
rear passenger compartment, plastic covers at very bottom  of convertible top
hydraulic piston covers,  under the rear quarter  windows (those covers have
both the armrest and interior light sockets  attached to them).  These are
flocked black on 300F and 300G  convertibles, but are flocked tan (same color
as interior) on 300H  ragtops.  Honorable mention to Dave Clelland who also
knew the correct  flocking answer.

I had the center glove  boxes of my H reflocked by John Waluk who is in
Levittown, NY.  So far  none has worn off and they still look brand  new.
