1964 Chrysler 300K Silver Edition
This car was originally sold to California -- note the oil cap breather line to the air cleaner. The dual master cylinder is a recent upgrade. John Hertog did the restoration work on this car. Completed in Long Island, John elected to drive the car back here. He stopped at the James Ryerson Chrysler dealership in nearby Moravia, NY and took this picture. You can see from the style of the signs, this had been a Chrysler dealership back into the 1920s. John, being the outgoing guy he was, went in and met Jim Ryerson who was in the process of closing the dealership (Note the for sale sign). A deal was struck for a truck load of spare parts stored up the dusty attic (Note the red truck to the left). This was in April of 1999. I would see Jim now and then until he passed away at the age of 92 in July of 2020. Click here for a slide show of the restoration. Click here for the engine swap - refresh - rebuild. To Page 2 Back |
