Location: Parts Unknown | Kenny, You know the Watts line was the only place the California CD 201's were ever found ? I believe less than 20 were ever recovered. | ||

Inactive by user's request Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | I didn't know that, Doc. But I do know the Watts "line" was simply a short run of the original L.A.-Long Beach main line. So it was possible California CD 201 usage extended all the way to Long Beach and perhaps to San Pedro or even Santa Anna. K. | ||

Expert Posts: 1490 Location: Florida | And these, with the attached story by a 300 Club Int'l member: Here are 2 photos of my in-laws, John and Martha Pope and daughter Thelma with their original 57C the day they brought it home in Montana.....they had a good year on the ranch as they bought the Chrysler, a Dodge 2 ton truck, a Dodge power wagon, and a 57 Plymouth for the son's high school graduation present. The baby in the photos is my wife Thelma....she is now 47 and we have her dads second 57C that he bought in Kansas in 1964 or so as he just had to have another 300C........I thought you may like to see these photos..........Thanks Rusty and Thelma Roe in Hermiston, Oregon.

Expert Posts: 1490 Location: Florida | And a nice pic and story about a 300-G at Watkins Glen: revised 01/08/04 +++++++++++ I received this picture with the email below from Mark Steigerwald, curator of the museum at Watkins Glen Raceway. If anyone has additional information on this car, please email Bob Merritt at bob@simplexco.com +++++++++++ From: Mark mark@racingarchives.org To: bob@simplexco.com Subject: 300G photo Hi Bob, I stumbled upon this photo. Apparently there was a "G" as a pace car here throughout 1961. I wonder if this G is among the surviving cars? Our historian informs me that a Dr. Ward, owner of several letter cars, had a role in safety at Watkins Glen. The "G" pictured is one of his cars. Apparently his cars (or at least this "G") were pressed into service as course marshall vehicles! Though I can't say for certain, this practice probably came to end when the Ford "Total Performance" push came to fruition in 1963 and Watkins Glen became a Ford track. We have a photo of a row of '63 Galaxie convertibles that handled all sorts of duties during that year's racing events. Also, for all general Chrysler enthusiasts, we'll be featuring a Cunningham C4R here next year as our premier display car. Something to consider when taking the odd road trip. Cheers.

It is neither. It is a Firedome, note the low backglass, the sidetrim stopping at the rear edge of the front wheel well, and the lack of the fender "dot" on that sidetrim. I won't bother explaining how to tell a convertible from a hardtop ! | ||
