--Our F , also an early May 1960 build, has no evidence of having any history or evidence of a small latch “post” on the lids or a receiver latch on the lower bins. Both bins do have the molded in notches where a latch like that posted could have been installed (which clears up the mystery for me as to “why is this here?”)KeithOn Nov 4, 2024, at 8:54 PM, 'Noel Hastalis' via Chrysler 300 Club International <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Ditto for my F, built 5/5:60.

The 1960 lid uses a ball stud secured by nut to the lid which fits into a tang in the base. My car was absent these, and every specialty hardware shop I spoke to said good luck.
I consulted with Gary Goers who said that it might be the hardest part to find for the car! He scrounged one up from a fella in Canada and sent it to me. I sent it to member Peter Kearing's son David who reproduced it from a 3D printer and I sent that to Bob Merritt.
I attach herewith the paperwork on the item.
The 61 lid eliminated the ball stud and receiver for no latch at all.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} 60-62 Console LidHello everyone!
Need some help with identifying a console lid and container. Are the 60-62’s all the same or do they have variations in them? I see from the webpage on the club site there are a number of latch mechanisms for 1960, but wasn’t sure if they were same across that three year span? Also, is the rear the same as the front? Here is the link to photos of the one I have:Thank you in advance for the help.Josh--
