With the help of Bob Merritt, Don Cole and Jamie Hyde,
the 1964 K convertible sun visors have been reproduced
and are now offered for sale by Legendary Auto Interiors. Bob provided the samples to be
patterned from, Don suggested that the most popular color was white, and Jamie Hyde
paid for the first set to be built. These visors are of the highest quality, look exactly like the
factory parts, and they will pass Concours judging. The visors even include the small chrome end clips,
stitching pitch, with the correct thread diameter. The visors do not include the chrome mounts,
you must reuse yours. If you want to order a set for yourself please contact Chris Robbins at
Legendary 800-363-8804 extension 222, and mention that you are in the 300 club.
Legendary stated that they are going to be listed in their retail catalog for $129.00 a pair
plus shipping and will be offered in all the other factory colors. Upon actual inspection
you will be very impressed with the quality of these replacement visors, and you should not be disappointed.

Here is a link to a review of a book entitled
WE WERE THE RAMCHARGERS.
Anyone who enjoyed the FULL JEWELED
book would probably like this also. I certainly did.
There is mention of the influence of the early hemis, Bob Rodger
and the 300 ram induction system in the development of the max-wedge
and 426 Hemi racing cars, plus interesting insight to the workings of Chrysler Corporation in the 60's.
Write us with whatever might
be on your mind.

If you like picture puzzles,
here are new ones.
Take your pick of a drag race with 300Ls, guess who with a 300E, and a challenging puzzle of the F.

I found this item while shopping for a DVD player at Walmart.
The 300C profile literally jumped out at me. It is just a toy, but in this economy,
this is all I might be able to soon afford!! Fun! I wonder if anyone has a photo of the real thing from back in 57 ?
