Hello John -
According to Wayne Graefen's comprehensive handbook on restoring
the 1957 300C (and several others that I cannot immediately
attribute), I was pretty certain that the brake cooling duct
inlet screens on that car were supposed to be "Buick Red" or
"China Red", not any kind of silver. After 10 years of
meticulously restoring my late father's 300C convertible, this is
the first time I've heard of SILVER brake inlet screens. Am I
missing something? Or are you NOT actually referring to the brake
duct inlet screens after all - maybe referring to the big radiator
grille that looks black on this car and has always been silver on
all the '57 - '58 cars?

***************************
I'd say to a degree it is rare. I've seen early cars with no grill screens in the brake ducts. The grill still should be argent (silver) like the other examples in 1957-58. I do question those bumper guards and think they are NYer.

Is it safe to say this one headlight is a rare vehicle ?
