    1968 Chrysler Towing brochure

    I thought I would share the images of this rare trifold towing brochure. The sign on the covered bridge is pretty amusing “$5 fine for riding or driving on this bridge faster than a walk”. Put a Chrysler in front and go!

    Attaching correct Chrysler emblem to trunk lid.

    The incorrect Chrysler emblem(the smaller Chrysler from a New Yorker)was glued onto my ‘68 300 trunk lid. I was going to leave it, but it came off when a rag got under a corner while cleaning and it came off. I got a correct one from Murray Park , but want to attach it as it was originally. Is...

    Put Magnum 500 wheels on my '68 Chrysler

    Just had Magnum 500 wheels mounted on the '68 300. There have been more than several posts on here questioning what size to use. In '68 you either had 14 X 51/2 inch wheels with drum brakes or 15 X 6 inch wheels with disc brakes. I know some have discussed going taller and wider. I chose 15 X 6...

    Help...broke my reclining passenger seat today

    I took a nice long ride in the 300 today. I was off and we're getting to the end of top down driving season. I got home and while it was warm I thought I would put up the top and wash all the windows. The top and windows have been down since April. I leave the top down so I can jump in the car...

    Help with my trunk lock

    i opened my trunk yesterday with no issue several times. The last time I put the key in the lock, the key turns all the way to the right, usually with some resistance halfway around as it unlocks, but now it just turns to the right with no resistance, as if the cylinder is empty, and the lock...

    Question on attaching window lift and guide

    H My window lift bracket rivet broke. I got the new rivet from R/T Specialties. Bought 4. I took the door panel off and all seemed to go ok. My question is: Should there be a gasket that goes between the bracket and the glass? There were no remnants of a gasket on the glass or in the door cavity...

    New trunk mat

    Y The trunk mat in my '68 300 vert was looking pretty old and dirty. It was very brittle and cracked. I bought a new mat from Legendary Interiors that was listed specifically for a C- body convertible. I am happy with the quality and the cut out for the spare tire was in the correct location...

    Help with window track rivet

    The last time I put down the windows, the passenger front window didn't go down. I heard the window motor move the mechanism down, then in a delayed reaction the window slowly moved down into the door. I thought the roller came off the track. But when I looked inside the door I see the track...

    My tire and wheel conundrum

    The tires and wheels that are currently on my 68 300 were on the car when I bought it. The tires are huge-L78-15 Coker Classic bias ply 41/2 inch wide whitewall. The hubcaps are from a 69 or 70 New Yorker, nice condition. I would not change them if they were in perfect condition, I don't hate...

    It seems that every time I go out to my 68 300 , I have get out my pad to ad to my to do list. Today's question involves what I would call the inner fender wheel well splash shield. It looks to have been a thick black vinyl cover that covers the front suspension parts and wheels to protect the...

    Window channel sweepers/belt line weatherstrip/felts/fuzzies

    my front passenger window on my 68 300 is missing the chrome trimmed belt line weatherstrip/brush. The others are loose. So thought I'd make that a project after the summer. Found some on rubbertherightway.com. I think they will work. Thought I would get some feedback and mention it here as they...

    Breathing new life into Wilbur. Our 68 300 vert

    We refer to our 1968 300 as Wilbur because the orig owner (Wilbur) kept this car until his death in 2012 in his 80's. Must have loved it, with only 70,000 orig miles, so a tribute of sorts to him. Have it about 6 months and thought I'd post what's been done. oil and filter, brake flush, trans...
