S-10 never had a 200-4R
[ATTACH] My old ‘35 Tudor...or is it too new for this post?
The wife built her own about 18 years ago. The only change was a set of Excelsior tires that really made the car drive better. A fun ride!

I'm with squirrel 100% on this one.
My '35 sedan steel wheels have been red for 20 years, my wife's little truck has "butter yellow" '35 wires.
