Arlys and John,
    I had a smile and gooseflesh reading the article, seeing the pictures, and watching the video! What a wonderful life and with a C running through it, a lot in the fast lane!  Congratulations on your 50th Wedding Anniversary!  Forwardlooking to seeing you both in less than 3 weeks in Branson!  ROB KERN

    We have been getting e-mails and telephone calls today regarding our 1957
  Chrysler 300 that is in a front page article of the Oregonian Newspaper
  along with pictures. We thought we should share the article with Club
  members.

  Last week we drove our 1957 Chrysler 300C Coupe to Tacoma, Washington to the
  Chrysler 300 Club National Car meet. When we stopped in downtown Portland on
  the way to Tacoma, two ladies stopped to admire our car and commented on it.
  Later we found they worked for the Oregonian newspaper. When we arrived home
  on Sunday, we received a call from an Oregonian reporter asking us for an
  interview on Tuesday. We said it was ok. We were surprised that it was such
  a long article and it appeared on the front page of the paper with a 5 x 7
  picture of my wife, Arlys with our 300C, taken September 1958.

  You can read the article which is in today's paper (Friday, Sept 4) :
  www.oregonlive.com , click on Portland news or http://tiny.cc/50years401

  The title is:

  A Portland love story: The car -- and the couple -- still going strong
  after 50 years
  by Tom Hallman Jr., The Oregonian 

  In addition to the pictures, comments; there is a two minute video. We have
  owned the 1957 Chrysler 300C for 51 years and drove it on our honeymoon in
  July 1959.

  John & Arlys Chesnutt, Portland, OR
