Re: [Chrysler300] Silver 300 in the picture





When at the Power Big Meet in Sweden last July, vendors were selling metric kmh overlays for our mph cars - Mopar, GM and Ford of various makes and years. But I also saw several owners 'went on the cheap' and applied small round stickers with kmh numbers printed on them, stuck onto the face of the speedo plastic.

Saw a '57 Imperial with 260 kmh calibration, '67 Cuda convertible with 240 kmh, and '60 Imperial convertible with these stickers applied. Photos of these are posted to our Club's website - Events,, and scroll down to Power Big Meet - these cars on Pages 6, 7, 8.

I bought my current Jag out of the US, so the speedo is in mph, with metric smaller. But like in many new cars, you can switch the vehicle system to either imperial or metric. Still hard to see the kph but we switched after 30 yrs of imperial, so i can still think in both. Except when i am not paying attention and get a speeding ticket! Yes clock and date are unchanged. So are 2x4’s! 

Btw, have you been in contact with Gary Goers lately? How is he doing?

So, fuel consumption is now Liters/KM, oil pressure in kPa, wheel size in MM, torque in dyne-cm, power in kW?  What else?  At least all the clocks and the calendar are the same, eh?

Hi Rich - 1977 Canadian cars were the first year to have metric speedometers and odometers. 

Trivia - I have a Canadian ‘79 Cadillac with metric speedo and odometer. That’s all the law initially required. As such, the heater/ac control dial is in Fahrenheit.

Wondering  what year Canada switched to metric speedometers and whether Chrysler sent Detroit-built 300’s SOUTH across the Detroit River into Ontario with metric speedometers??  I think Canadian-built 300’s actually say Saratoga on the front fenders.  Then wondering if the Canadian Chrysler plant built any Silver Editions?

 

Real busy here in lockup.

Yeah, really nice car!!!  So that would have been in the Muscle Car section of that CIAS at the Toronto Convention Center that year, 2014. Thanks Allan.

The Silver edition (available only in metallic Silver on black leather interior with black leather top) was another Chrysler mid-year addition. Since it was included in 1964's 2-door hardtop production (13,401 vs 3,022 for 300K), we can't tell how many of this fine variation were built.

The  1964 Chrysler 300 Silver Edition was in the 2014 CIAS Canadian Auto Show in Toronto.

It's absolutely beautiful to my eye and I had hoped that the owner, past or present is know to the club. I only want to learn what the wheel sizes are as the stance to me is perfect. Not easy to confirm, but I think the rear wheels are larger than the fronts.

Sure it's not Toronto, Ontario, Canada? 

"Canada" is often shortened to "CA"

Does anyone know who the owner of this 300 may be? It was shown in Toronto, but the picture states Ontario. CA.
