Ayilar: Congratulations! Sublime 300 Convertible
Thank you!
One day, possibly, this Summer of ‘21 perhaps, it would be FUSIE AWESOME to gather a tribe of The Last Chrysler Corporation Convertibles, somewhere in America The Beautiful
Short story: sounds good! IL, IA, MO or WI are kinda central to C-body 'vert ownership and could work. In fact, such a gathering could be teed up with the 5th Midwest C-body show in late June or with the 2021 CATL in September.
Long story: last year, I started plans for just a 50th anniversary reunion of the last C-body ragtops at Carlisle, but the pandemic threw us a wrench. Still, we managed to get 5 Polara 'verts (3 on Friday --
@polara71,
@71Polara383 and myself; 4 off-site on Saturday --
@carfreak6970 and a friend of his brought theirs but I could not join) as well as
@c-barge's Newport 'vert and one Fury iii. Not to forget of course
@david hill 's award-winning '69 300. I won't be organizing anything similar this year at Carlisle, but other places are possibilities. There are a lot of 1970 'verts within 200 miles of Chicago, so
@sixpkrt's C-body Show would be a natural place for the 'verts to congregate. If my TNT is ready by then, I plan to bring her there (as well as my two 383 Polaras). And, I hope to get as many 'vert owners to join the 2021 CATL in September -- I am hoping for example that
@Stanj could bring his N-code Polara there.
PS: I have been gathering information about surviving 1970 C-body 'verts and their whereabouts, helped by the earlier findings and the generous information sharing of
@polara71,
@fc7_plumcrazy,
@Fratzog and
@71Polara383 (Dodge),
@Fury440 and
@70 Sport Suburban (Plymouth), and
@c-barge (Chrysler) -- among others. For the past couple of years,
@c-barge's
Last Convertibles thread has served as an informal public repository of information on those cars. Ultimately, it would be great to get all that info up on a site -- like Bill did for the T-code Fury 'verts. I am in the process of doing so for the U-code 300 'verts, together with some other members who own a one -- we are at 18 '70 TNT ragtops thus far, out of (likely) 135 produced.
