         Not yet....hmm     I have tried to hide the car, as it is a project...  I bought it from a good friend...  

         The car was well know in years past (on the internet, and here), but turned out to be a bit of a disappointment      

         Todd asked for it as a "feature car" and I was asked, to take it the the Sloan Museum Event in Flint  Mi...  

         but..  I am currently doing some little fixes on it, and hope to get it out this summer, looking like "my" car instead of "that car"   lol  

         The car looks great in the photos, and great in person, as long as you stay 30-40 feet away  lol  

        I added some new rims at Christmas....    

        I had mounted the tires WW on the plain rims painted black, and then painted white to do some photos of them  

        I like the latest rims I bought the best        

       The  photo with the rims white, was taken with front bumper off  I replaced the grilles and adjusted bumper to fit better.....

The car looks great with any of your rims or colour. I prefer the white rims myself. (Is that green grass I see?)

I agree with Indian that the dog dish look works for your kind of dechromed car but try the Grande look and see what it looks like with the dog dish with some trim rings on the white wheels. Grande style trim with the no crap look of a horsey car!?

Change your name to Johnnee if you really want to annoy me.

Now quit derailing Carl's nice thread about wheels and tires on his car.

 For that price I'll send it back to you. I might have to let out the 1966 air to save on weight/shipping costs.
