Woo Hooo Took the 300 out last night!

[Big_John]

First time out with the car. We went to a cruise night at lake front beach and had dinner at a restaurant there. Had the top down the whole time!

Saw this unrestored '56 300.




We're headed off on vacation today, so I won't get a chance to drive it again for a week.

License plates are off my A12 car. I gotta get something more fitting the 300.

There's a paint scuff on the side. It looks like clouds. The previous owner (a good friend of mine) was 1st Cavalry in Vietnam, so he added a vinyl helicopter. It looks cool, but has no significance for me, so it will get removed and the panel will get touched up.

Nice! How do you like that aluminum radiator vs. the stock one?

 

[detmatt]

I'm not usually a big fan of that color combo but man it looks great on that car! Really nice!

I'll tell you after I have the car for a while.

First impressions are it's fugly, but the car didn't overheat in traffic, so it works.

What's going on there with the side molding?

I think we could let this pass through as a "burned beyond recognition orange".

The factory radiator defective then?

Your going on vacation...... and NOT driving this car......? I'd have to stay home.....

Two owners ago at least on that one. It's that vinyl side molding so popular with used car dealers. I don't like it. It will come off soon.

I'm not real crazy about the spotlights either, but they add "character" to the car, so the jury is out on that one.

Yea... the thought occurred to me to take the 300... I'm gonna take my company car (Vlad the Impala) instead. It's easier to drive and park a regular car in a strange town. One less worry.

Previous owner replaced the rad. It was cheaper to get the aluminum version.

Ah I see then. Irregardless of the cost factor I kinda like the way it looks. I guess you'll be replacing it with a stock/factory version sometime down the road...lol.

Hard to say. This car is a driver!

The tank might get painted black though.
