Re: [Chrysler300] Largest Car Collection in the World -Tacoma

["Fern" <crc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recall meeting Mr Lemay at the Portland swap meet years ago as we had the swap meet spot right next to him at the race track. Although he has collected a nice collection of cars, a lot of them were not restored at a very high level. I personally had seen a 1960 300F, a 1961 300G and also a 1957 dodge custom royal that he acquired from a fellow in Moscow Idaho a number of years ago when I also had purchased a white 300F from the same gentleman.  However, I'm still looking forward to see that huge collection in Tacoma this year.
Cheers from Fern

  All,

  They also have an F (white) and a G (the G is also red if I recall), an H, J, K and I think an L as well (although I am pretty sure one of them is misidentified and is ‘only’ a 300 sport..I forget which). I toured the facility about three years ago before the move of the cars over to Fife from Marymount.

  They have an adopt-an-auto program which is a lot of fun. I think the ‘E’ is on the adoption list. It is a nominal annual contribution that is tax deductible and allows you some access to ‘your’ car. I adopted a 1954 Bristol British tour bus a couple of years back. Here is a link to the adopt program:

  A Red 1959 300E is one of the featured autos at the LeMay Museum in Tacoma, Washington. See www.lemaymuseum.org

  Then look under “Collection”, Featured Autos. It has a full description and Serial # M591100217

  The Museum opens in June 2012. There are already some activities going on at the Museum. It is next to the Tacoma Dome off Interstate 5

  Also, there is a local news TV clip. See below. It is a pretty amazing museum. Here is a reason to take a trip to the West Coast- Tacoma
