RE: [Chrysler300] 1957 Medallions and headlights

["Dave Geise" <daverg1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OEM headlights for the 57 quads were GE's with GE script in a 5/8" circle
right in the center.  Reference Wayne Graefen's resto guide for the 57C.
These can still be found in flea markets or ebay.  The hardest to find are
the outboard low/hi beams as they were always the quickest to burn out.

Howdy 300ers,

We're getting pretty far along on the C restoration, and I need to settle on
a couple of things with your help.

1) Were the salad-plate-sized red, white, and blue medallions for the
quarter panels repopped by someone in the recent past? I thought they were,
and I could benefit from having a pair of new ones - or advice on restoring
the paint on the old ones. Anyone know a source?

2) What would be an appropriate set of headlamps to use for 1957? What brand
may have been used on the production line? I've seen some quads with pretty
fine lines in the lens, and some with a little courser look. Are there newer
bulb designs that would be better than the originals for brightness or
pattern?

Thanks,
Keith Boonstra
