MUY bueno bob

Beautiful Exner car! This is the year that the all-new Torqueflite 3-speed automatic push-button transmission made its debut in mid-year introduced in April 1956. That was the only automatic to mate to a big Chrysler Hemi V8, so having a manual 3-on-the-tree stick shift was a better deal before those came out (except a 4-speed floor shift would have been better, but they were not trending in American cars until 1957-58). Nicely done 300-B.

Your videos are extremely helpful, Bob.

Hi Mr. Merritt, my Dad and I are building a custom '56 Windsor. I am in the process of cleaning/repairing all the interior dash components. The schematic shows a bulb to illuminate the transmission's shift buttons, however when I disassembled the shifter assembly I didn't see a provision(hole or bracket) for a bulb. And when I held a trouble light behind the letters they didn't illuminate. Wondering if you could shine some light on this question, pun intended 😃Thank you for your time.

A wealth of information, thank you for sharing!

Some states did not allow the running light. I suspect that dealer Sourced lense was used in cars that did not have the running Light feature. If Don Warner RIP was with us he would know LOL.

Which lens were they built with and when and why was it changed?

Looks like 150! Very impressive.

the 3D Astra-Dome is always a thrill, but especially the Panelescence at 150mph ...there's so many numbers lit!

She's coming on great, Bob.

The amount of delicate handling these knobs require to restore is quite the art, fantastic work.

An article in one of the early "Collectible Automobile" magazine advises that a contributor discovered a partially dismantled 300C in a wrecking yard some where in the US and noted the VIN plate showed that it was the remains of the first one built.

Absolutely fantastic! Cannot wait to get mine finished up.

Looking great Bob!

What a treasure Bob did those 1963 Chryslers ever come with optional headrests I know the 64s did?

Wow, Forward Look Heaven!

Enjoyed!!!!!

You have a great channel, Bob. I'm subscribing. Dont know a thing about these Chryslers, but now I know about the power pack. 😊

Hello Bob, where did you ever find that power pack?

Thanks, Bob: I'm a player for this one!

I recall back when my brother had his ‘63 New Yorker and how he had the car for a year and didn’t realize the pull switch for the fan speed could be pulled out to one more higher speed! I’m pretty sure the system had more than two speeds, though. That extra-high speed sure came in nice in the muggy Virginia Summers!

I’m really enjoying your posts Bob. Keep them coming!

I just got the kit for the sister car from Mobius Models.

Beautiful car

Love this. Chrysler ❤❤❤❤

Very nice ❤ Thank you very much!

Points and condenser have been absolute for the past 30 years. I donate my timing light to a museum.

What’s the extra red lead connected to?

When I was around 18, 19 years old I had a chance to buy a 59 E convertible from an old gentleman in Compton California. He told me that it ran fine, but I only needed to worry about putting gas in it. He wanted all of 900 bucks for it. It might as well have been 9000 bucks cause I didn't have that much money. I begged my dad for a loan and he told me that I didn't need that old junk. It was a white E with about 70,000 miles. I always wondered what ever happened to it. Looking back 50 years I doubt I could have done it justice anyway as far as renovations and repairs. It was just another old car back then.j

This guy cantget out. of. His Own driveway , not one to road test Anything .

2:06 That HORN!

Im a life long mopar guy i just turned 50 Im sorry to say im a late to learn how neat the forward look. especially 300 cars.they are as special as any HEMI cuda..just found your channel love you guys God bless you all 😊

You guys are awesome. Saving history of the most awesome cars to come out of Detroit

More great tinkering, Bob. She's coming along.

Hello Bob. Did you put in the old gasket or did you buy a new one? I mean the windshield. Regards

I had the exact grounding problem with my H…short of pulling the compressor off, I managed to get a thin small flat headed screw driver between the temperature sensor connector and the bottom of the compressor…just enough to better seat the connector and create an air gap. Voila…no more pegged temperature gauge and nominal operation. Thanks for all your posts, very enjoyable!

I love The 300series but my favorite is '57 300C🤙😎... Awesome AWESOME enginuity...a work of art👍...move over Picasso 👋

I have a 2 way power seat in my plymouth, do you have any idea where to get a replacement cable?

Gotta love the cast iron headers those long ram 413's have. I never knew they had them until I pulled my first 413 and could not believe how big they were. even the Hemi's don't have an exhaust manifold like that or the early super stock cars have them they are only on those long ram 413's.

Where did you buy the carpet?

Rust devil!

Sad, nice car!

This car is rust free according to Mr goodplyers. 😅

The Chrysler 300 name lasted from 1955 til 2023. There were no 300's from '72 til '78 & '80 til '98. I am now looking for a late model 300.

Clean clean clean!

There's a 300J at a salvage yard in Massachusetts. Complete , and appears to be restorable. Not wrecked either.

You did save it by taking off the parts.

Looks like you found some more treasure.

Sounds like a solid lifter cam.

What a beautiful car. Lil Hemi was a beast
