RE: [Chrysler300] identify 300 badges

["Richard Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

Mercedes Benz has had a 300 model for a long time.  A brief review of
pictures did not indicate any with the trim piece shown.  I find it ironic
that they have been marketing a C300 at least since 2008.

Packard had a Model 300 in 1951-52 with a 329 cid 8-cyl engine, but photos
do not indicate the trim piece.

Ford had a base model 300 in late 50?s and early 60?s, but I couldn't see
any with those trim pieces on the outside.

Nissan had a 300Z car for several years.

1-Ton Dodge trucks were D-300's & W-300's for a number of years.  And there
were Dodge 300 sedans in the early 60's.

That 300 brand label has been magic for years and was hung on a lot of
3-liter cars.  Everyone wants in on the act.

While Googling images, I came across this interesting shot of a couple of
Chrysler C-300?s on a race track, one being driven by Henry Ford and the
other by Lee Petty.  Both are two-tone cars.

I have no clue, except that they aren't from a Chrysler 300. Hudson maybe?
I wonder what other brands had a 300 model designation........
