Gorgeous John

 

[300L]

Congratulations! Your "New Bus" looks great, John

Great looking. 2 questions. 1. Do you live on navy base? 2. Is there something different with the taillights?

Congrats, Love it, great color too!

No, I don't live on a Navy base. That's where the previous owner stores his collection of cars.

The early versions (this is an early car, with a build date of 11/25/64) had that style lenses. They went to a red lens with 2 bulbs somewhere along the line. BTW, 11/25/64 was my 10th birthday!

Are those disc brake wheel covers legit or false advertising?

Very Awsome car! My younger brother bought one about 2 yrs ago, blue/ black. Spent a bunch rebuilding the motor, but cancer took him before he ever got to enjoy it. Enjoy that one!

A letter car! Yes, you suck!!

Congrats on the new ride!

Is that turbine bronze?, love the dash lights and night time pics with it lit up.

Wow! A/C car? Oh no, did you get rid of one of your others?

 

[Dads300]

Beautiful car. I had a 65 NYer with the clear taillight lenses, they’re kinda cool
Travis..

Covers over headlights also adds atitude!

They are more "place holders" and they have to go back. The previous owner didn't care for the original wheel covers. It's a drum brake car, no discs available until 1966.

Honestly, I'm struggling with a wheel choice... I'd almost like to stay with the stock wheel covers... But that's a 14" wheel and that limits my tire selection.

No A/C and I'm breaking my "only 2 cars" rule by keeping everything.

My son does really want the brown 300... So if it goes, it will most likely go to him.

Ah, good point. I forgot about 66 being the first year. Those are my favorite factory slab wheel covers (other than the 66-68 Imperial). Just do a '73 disc swap and call it good.

Nice! Sharp car.
