I know its a drawing but this is my next project inspiration. They seem to just be 5 slots but is there a particular brand that fits this picture best?
Art and open to interpretation but .... Those ain't regular slots- Those are small window kidney beans aka halibrand kidney beans http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=261144544685 What the hell are "bullet spokes" ?
As said above art is hard to interpret but they do look like Polished Kidney's or Astro? chrome slots. Some one on here is reproducing those, I have his name in my email folder if someone is interested.
Earliest of Halibrand small windows. The car is drawn in late fifties/early sixties garb, that would be about all that was around like that then.
See the end of this post for new Astro style chrome slots ... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=233617&showall=1
Looks like these, but polished. http://www.shopvintagewheels.com/15...-FINISH-W--5X5"-PATTERN----212"-BS/p/WV02001/
If you look hard enough, you will find some chrome slots. I picked up these last year for my '59. The front narrow ones are Mickey Thrompsons, & the wide ones are Rockets. Both are from the early 70's. Btw, the narrow M/T's are thicker & heavier the the wider rockets
63 Falcon that I had in 68 had chrome slots that were, as I recall, made by Appliance. Here in middle Tn. everyone referred to them as Astros regardless of who made them.
So, those fronts were intended to be the skinny Halibrand kidney beans with a full polish. They do look like they could be the Astro steel slots though. Definitely not Ansons, too late for the style of the car in the painting.
