Yes and that car there is a perfect example of why so many muscle cars came from the factory with poverty caps. It's not like anybody drove them that way, they change out to Cragers or Keystones ASAP.

In 68 & 69 the W30 'emblems' were decals just below the front markers

It's funny, but I have never been into aftermarket wheels.  The only car that I have that sports them is my 97 Z28 and ironically what I put on were chrome torque thrusts II's so it would have more a 60's look.  When I got my 70 Cutlass in 78 from my Dad that he had bought new, the first thing I did was put a set of Super Stock I wheels on it.  Even today the only after market wheel that I have any interest in are the torque thrusts, and only because they were the wheel of choice in the 60's.  To me, the aluminum type "Weld" and other similar wheels were ugly in the 70's and they are just as ugly now.  Just my

You and me both. Seldom do I like an aftermarket rim more thana  factory rally style.

 

ok good point there.
if you post a picture (ie Kijiji) do you expect nobody to copy your picture?

this isnt against you ,but i had a incident with a guy that posted his picture on kijiji and i posted it ,like we all do when we see a car for sale on there!

now he posted it on kijiji,right?

what do you think,its only more advertising as i see it by showing you guys,but he asked to not to post the add and called me a jerk for doing so!

To my mind, once you post something on a site that is accessible to the public, i.e., you don't need to register or password access, it is fair game to be copied and posted elsewhere.  That's the nature of the internet, I don't really know how it could be otherwise.

 

Thanks.

Can't understand why someone wouldn't want free advertising.....

I disagree, and any photo hosting site has terms of use that exclude hosting anything not your own. Take Flickr for example. Here's their terms of use policy;

http://www.flickr.com/guidelines.gne

Here's some highlights;

Do upload content that you have created.Respect the copyright of others. This means don't steal photos or videos that other people have shared and pass them off as your own. (Thats what favorites are for.)

 

Do link back to Flickr when you post your Flickr content elsewhere.The Flickr service makes it possible to post content hosted on Flickr to outside web sites. However, pages on other web sites that display content hosted on flickr.com must provide a link from each photo or video back to its page on Flickr.

 

Dont upload anything that isn't yours.This includes other people's photos, video and/or stuff you've collected from around the Internet. Accounts that consist primarily of such collections may be terminated at any time.

Copyright Infringement
If you see photos or videos that youve created in another members photostream, don't panic. This is probably just a misunderstanding and not malicious. A good first step is to contact them and politely ask them to remove it. If that doesn't work, please file a Notice of Infringement with the Yahoo! Copyright Team who will take it from there.

You may be tempted to post an entry on your photostream or in our public forum about what's happening, but that's not the best way to resolve a possible copyright problem. We don't encourage singling out individuals like this on Flickr.

My exception is the American Racing Torque Thrust D wheel, which I think looks great on just about any 60s car.

Is this a II or D?
