Does anyone know if there was a 300H Operating Instructions book for the 1962?

Hi Kenny Cassady and  300 Group,

When I bought my 300 G  in 1998, I cleaned out the glove box and tossed every 
thing in a box and 
stored it in the Garage.

This winter cleaning out the boxes I found many interesting items.

A white envelope about  6" x 9",  Imprinted  "Chrysler  1961 Operating 
Instructions  for  _____________."

Inside was a  5 1/2"  x  8 1/2"   "Chrysler 1961 Operating Instructions"  book,   
(44 pages)
Cover shows ladies tan leather gloved left hand holding Chrysler ignition and 
trunk keys.

Also a second book,  5 1/2 "  x  8 1/2",   "Your Chrysler 300 G"  (black and 
white ) ( 6 Pages.)
The first 4 pages is a letter from  R M Rodger,  Director of Product and Chief 
Engineer,
Chrysler and Imperial Division.        The last two pages are all the 
Specifications for the 300 G.

Also in the envelope is the complete  "Your Chrysler Certified Car Care Plan"
(Not written on and has all the X000  Miles Check-up coupons and oil change 
coupons.)

I think the 6 page "Your Chrysler 300 G" book is what you are looking for.


Found in the glove compartment was a color post card showing a black, 300G  HT
with chrome wire wheels and  3/4 inch narrow white walls.
On the back of the post card...

"1961 Chrysler 300G
413 cu in.  400 hp  -  ram charge induction with dual 4-bbl carbs -
Driven by Tom McCahill at Daytona Beach, Fla at speeds in excess of
125 mph.   One of the great performance cars of all time, this lovely,
original car has only 64,000 miles.   Gleaming original black finish, excellent
chrome, whitewall tires, original Chrysler chrome wire wheels.
Good original interior with hand tooled tan leather bucket seats
front and rear-  Front seats swivel out for easy entrance.
Has storage center consoles front and rear,   3 Speed floor shifter
with 6000  rpm tach  -  Radio, heater, clock, Power steering and
power brakes.
A certified milestone car that really performs." 

Published by Roaring 20 Autos, Wall , NJ  07719   in 1977


Also found in the stuff in the glove compartment:
a business card   2"  X  3 1/2"
on the front:

"Chrysler   300  Club    (and logo)

Ray Doern
1687 Gypsy Lane
Columbus, OH  43229
(phone Number) " 

On the back of the card:

"Charlotte Motor Speedway

100  MPH  Club

This is to certify that    RAY DOERN
has completed a lap on the world famous Charlotte
Motor Speedway with an average speed in excess
of 125.00  MPH.  This mark was achieved in the 
official Charlotte Motor Speedway Chrysler Kit Car.

December  5, 1978

Tim Flock
1952 & 1955  Grand National Champion
NASCAR  Hall of Fame

H A Wheeler, Jr
Vice-President and General Manager

At an average speed of 142.786  MPH"


Does Ray still belong to the club?
What is a Chrysler Kit Car?

Was this a Go to the Track, Pay your money, Take the Class, take the class car 
on the track?
The Liability Insurance Boys aren't going to let you do that today.

Also found in the glove box an auto service paper stating mileage on June  10, 
1977,
the mileage on the car was  16,386.
Checked the car today and the mileage is  29,414.
Can this be the original Mileage?????????????
I always thought that it was on the second time around on the clock.

Thanks for listening.
