Re: [Chrysler300] Vintage Letter Car Brochures

That brings back memories! I do remember meeting him at Englishtown one year. I was running my F. I don’t think he had his car there or I would have pictures. He told me to get rid of the rams and my car would go faster! His car was in the 10 second range if I remember right. I’ll have to check my old magazines, I may have that article.

Jeff raced the F on the drag strips in NJ. He tricked it out as I recall and made it a dragster. Some magazine did a feature on the car. One of you folks out there have the article I'm sure. Send it to Bob Merritt so we can all look at it. His D convert was Aztec turquoise. He brought it to one of the New England meets. It was perfect. That was the first time I had seen that color. It was a lot of blue on a lot of car!

Alan Beals is likely the son of former member Jeff Beals, who also had quite a few letter cars “back in the day”. He was a member up until 1984, and listed 55 300, a stick B, D convert, and an F at that time. They were likely sold off some time ago when he was alive. I do remember talking to him on the phone long ago, but I don’t think I ever met him. I’m sorry to hear of his passing.

Hello All,

I just talked to Alan Beals who has a collection of Letter Car Dealer Sales Brochures. He is in the process of sorting out the material which he had recently inherited. The correct phone number is shown below. He lives in Connecticut. Seems that he had some contact with the Letter Cars when growing up and would like to see that the material goes to good homes.

John Holst, Snowy Iowa "K" car is safely in the shed for awhile...
