Anyone remember single headlight '57 300 from MCG?

I got to thinking about this article that was in MCG a few years ago and went looking for a pic of the car and can't find one anywhere.

The car was a '57 Chrysler 300C, from New Mexico I believe, it had dual front headlights instead of the quads they typically came with because they were banned where this car was bought. I also seem to remember the orginal owner working at Nasa's JPL (maybe had a plate frame that said JPL) and maybe the car was a special color? (I'm thinking it was kinda tan).

Anyone else remember this car, or better yet have a photo?

It's funny, I can't remember peoples names 5 minutes after meeting them, but I can remember all these obscure details I read about a car 3 years ago.......

I remember a feature on a '50s Mopar and the blurb about the headlights. I didn't remember specifically which make/model or which magazine. I sold most of my old Mopar magazines to another board member so I can't look for it for you.

Yeah, like a moron I sold all my old magazies because I remember most of the articles within their first sentance, wish I had saved some of those oddball articles like this one.....

I remember it, vaguely. But, man, that is going to require a serious amount of digging.

Maybe shoot them an e-mail and ask which issue it was?  They may not respond but then again they might.

No, it was a '57 300C, that much I know. The reason it had single lights and the reason I kinda want to read back thru the article/get pics is because in most states, until 57/58 or so, quad headlights were banned because of their brightness. This car was either factory prepped or had dealer installed single headlight besels and lights becuase of such ban. The 300 site was no help at all, they didn't have any info on the car up, seems like they would though since it's such an oddball that I'm thinking about it 2/3 years later.
