Paul, Nice Lace, Yep it's right in the middle of TRAK Kustom Years,
the base color really works with the gold lace. Truthfully, I was so
gobsmacked by the lace that I sort of overlooked the wheels. Those
are "Rollers" right? Yeah, that's it...

THe wheels are NOT Centerlines The are Crager Super Tricks introduced in late 1966 early 1967 and were a too thinly cast for street use . The Crager Street Super Tricks made of steel came out in 1969 and Centerline came out with an aluminum loose copy at a lower price.

They don't show up here until the 1972 catalogue: vintagewheelcatalogs.com/cragar/

My info could be wrong, it's not the first time my search on Hamb is off. Thanks for the info!

I'll dig out a set traditional painted of steelies

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

41chevy: Yeah I'm leaning towards the Torino as a Winfield /Starbird style idea car like the Ford Custom Caravan would have commissioned. Jan 23, 2024 13:53:42 GMT -5
