RE: [Chrysler300] 1956 300B 3N561639 yard art

["Owen Grigg" <ram300@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris, nowadays us farmers have ditched the shovel in favor guns, gets rid
of both the 4 and 2 legged pests.
 
I actually find cars like the 300B on ebay slowly sinking into the ground
quite fascinating. They can't all be "saved", painted red with wire wheels
and a highway hi-fi.
 
Maybe it's the owner's one source of pleasure and link to past memories,
looking out the window each morning at his ol' decaying B sitting on the
front lawn. AND it's on free public display for passersby, which sure beats
the one's under 3 car covers tucked away in a shed for ever and a day.

Wouldn't it be better to ask these old original owners about there memories
of the car rather than condemning them and whining about why it wasn't
saved.

Long live the hoarders of yard art I say, just make sure we can see it from
the road, best you don't jump the fence though 'cause that ol' farmer just
may be armed !

"An old Dodge Tourer I guess" I said to the farm man.  "Yes", he replied,
"going to be worth big money one day".

 

Looking across towards it, I replied after a brief silence "If you can get
it under cover, you might be right".  And I turned to me two car friends to
see what reaction, only to see them turn and start running for the gate. As
I turned back to farm man, I saw he had a shovel handle and was coming at
me.

 

Lesson - some people just can't help themselves??! - how often as car
people, do we come across cars people won't sell because they are worth a
fortune, yet they won't put them undercover. When it is a 300, that is
sad/stupid.

I have more pictures if any one is interested. Les and I tracked this car 
down 1997 on our way home from the fall meet in Mena AR. Looks like it's 
still sitting in the same place along Rte 5 south of town.
I figured it would turn up again someday.

The old guy must have died. He was some kind of big shot (judge, lawyer or 
mabe Co. Superintendant) that worked at or for the court house in Camdenton.

Don't that just frost Ya, these folks think theye are sitting on a pot of 
gold, yet they won't lift one finger to "protect" their "investment" but 
leave it abandoned to the elements. We all have probably been there running 
across these "deals" too many times and got the T-shirts to boot. Well I 
didn't get the shirt but I did get pictures and they are worse (imagine 
that!) than those on E-bay

We were driving the C at the time, and he wasn't interested in looking at it

at all.
He clamed at the time that the extra trim and gold insert were factory 
original..
It's a real mess to say the least. What a cryin' shame for sure. The Air 
cleaner was upside down in the back seat and the back window was busted out.
