    Just remember.....; you asked.

    The wheels are late 60s Road Wheels
    http://www.akhwheels.com/pages/showWheel.php?pk=174

    They were used through the early 70s on full size Mopars, including the biggest barge of all, the 1970 Hurst 300. The Hurst version had body paint on the non-chromed areas.

    Center hubs changed by year, I think. The center hubs that I have actually extend past the width of the wheel, so most of them suffered damage if a tire guy flopped them down face first on the garage floor. Rare only because most were shattered.

    They came with the vehicle when I bought it 10 years ago. I kept them; most people in the small world of big Chryslers tell me they like them on the car (Canadian built).

    1961 Ford Starliner would be my pick for 1961 US production, otherwise I'll take a Ferrari.
     
  10. 61 Chrysler Town & Country four door hardtop station wagon. But then, I have goofy tastes.

    Haha, I didn't even know you were on here. Yeah I was really admiring that car at the SW swap way before I realized it was yours. Not enough room in the stables to keep it? I could babysit it. :D

    There was a '61 Dodge Seneca with a factory 413 long ram and 4-spd on the evil auction site. That car was friggin' rad. I really like the Impalas from that year.

    Those taillights always looked to me like they should have RAY-O-VAC stamped on them.
