    From that last picture, it looks like the scrub line is off. Or is it the camera angle?

    On dirait qu'il y a les vis de pont qui dépassent sous le niveau de la jante, en cas de crevaison si ça s'accroche dans le bitume ça peut rendre l'arrêt d'urgence intéressant. C'est peut être simplement l'angle de la photo qui donne cette impression ?

    VEDETTE - You "get" the kustom look better than some of my fellow countrymen. Bravo!

  22. Scrub line or scrub radius... Radius does not apply because this wheel does not steer and the scrub line is not really visible from this angle.

  28. Great looking car.... :D

    One thing about this, with the smaller size it doesn't look as bulbous as the US Mercs do. Much sleeker, with just a touch of Hudson.

    Baby Merc! According to the story it was "the mother" of the future US mercs 49/51!
    But (for me) the Merc 51 is the most beautiful production car in the world! So timeless...
    The Ford Vedette has its defauts of style.. too bad.
    The Kustom really belongs to you.
