It's been a few years since I posted photos of my 300 Letter Cars. Reminded by Moe-Parr's post (but not wanting to hijack his). My last acquisition is the NEO 300F coupe in White. I think this is it - until a nicely done 300L comes along.
I fell in lust with the Letter Cars when I was 16yo after reading about them in the Peterson soft cover shown below (C 1976, ISBN 0-8227-0116-2). It reads: "The Chrysler 300 is a special interest car at its finest". Indeed.
The books cover art lit me on fire to collect literature/brochures. A collection that I sold to the late Bob Johnson before an ill-fated move to Florida in '90.
Thanks for looking!

Fantastic, John! I don't think I see NEO's black '60 hardtop there.
Who makes the '63/'64? I've never seen those, and I love that body style!
I also have on order, from Spain and Italy, the 1/43 1970 300-Hurst. Hopefully either or both will get here soon!

@moe-parr:
I did purchase the NEO 300F coupe in Black. But also having a White coupe and Black convertible, it was redundant. I sold it on eBay a few weeks ago.
The two '63's were produced by 43rd Avenue.
I look forward to seeing non-manufacturer photos of the '70 Hurst.

John: Here's some photos of my 1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst. Considering the price point, I'm very pleased with it.

@kenspear Hi, can you tell us who makes the Hurst 300? It's a very nice looking rendition.

43rd. Avenue also did an estate wagon in the '64 body style.

Charles: The bottom of the box states that the Chrysler 300 Hurst car is imported by Hatchette Collections ( I have a few buses by them) and distributed by Partworks. Ltd.

My 300 Hurst arrived last week. It is a very nice model and an excellent addition to any 300 Collection.

John, where did you get yours? The only ones I found, and ordered, are coming from Europe.

As was mine. I ordered it from a vendor in Spain. It only took about three weeks to arrive, which isn't bad considering I am still waiting for some models ordered from Germany back in December.
