Quote: BTW, the pic was taken before I made any modifications what so ever to the car.
I am not trying start a wizzing match with you but having seen countless original air cleaners from these cars over the years, all black, and not a single exception, I still doubt they were original. That said anything was POSSIBLE with Chrysler, just not likely in this case.
Maybe the dealer painted them, or maybe your memory has faded? IMO either is a possibility.
You said it yourself that you hadn't made a SINGLE modification to the car when that pic was taken? What about the fuel lines that show in the pics? Those aren't stock, or they are at least modified or insulated. The date of March 1964 on the photo edge is also evidence that the car had been around a year or more when that pic was taken, you didn't change a thing for the first year or more of ownership?
