Good afternoon! Does anyone have one of the 1957 Chrysler Custom's WITHOUT the Chrysler badging. It was produced 1st, then, I understand, recalled, because of trademark infringement for lack of identification as a Chrysler product.
I have both, the unbadged, and badged, and I was trying to find out.....
how many are out there...
what it's worth....
thanks!

No badging
Was told by DM when they first came out that under 100 of these were made before the "ERROR" was found. These were the first to be produced, and after this short run, the model was inspected for MISTAKES, and this was found and corrected.

I have had two no badging custon 300's.
One had a broken inside reaview mirror which I returned to the vendor I bought it from. The second one I still have. I also have the one-page brochure from the mint with no badges on the car.
