A salute to the previous owner Earl. 2 Years ago today I gave him a ride in the "finished" 300. He was the second owner and had plans of getting it back on the road. After sitting for 32 years I took her home and started the restoration.

The 300 was in the upholstery shop all summer and fall. I was planning on rebuilding the transmission and pulling the engine over the winter, so I want to give Earl a ride now, because he had terminal cancer and had all ready lived past his original prognosis.

Thanks Earl for seeing the potential in that old Chrysler. It became quite a sore spot with your wife over the years, while her car sat outside in the rain and the snow. You keep her buried safe and dry in your garage.

You and that 300 changed my life in more ways then you ever realized. Rest in Pease.

While the car is neat, what you did transcends mere metal and rubber. You arose to the occasion and gave Earl quite a thrill! A tip of the hat to both of you!

You must have made his day

When I got to his house he had a neighbor and 2 of his buddies waiting to see the car. The neighbor, Earl and I then drove the car to 2 other friends houses to show them the 300. I was a big day for all.
 
You are very lucky to have been able to make such a wonderful gesture toward Earl. I bet you got as much, or more, out of taking that ride than he did. . .

Mighty fine.
 
I can't imagine he could have been happier that she was in good hands. A very sweet gesture on your part to share her with him one more time. Anyone who would hold onto a car for so long would be happy to see it roadworthy again.
Way to go.
 
You have a heart of Goldie Mike!
