    No A-hole. I got a really good deal on it. I knew the guy for years but it was so top secret the feds could learn from him.Seriously,he needed to move it to get a new garage door.I told him to get rollers.Would he ask me to help him? No. Just some old Cadillac in his garage. Once he saw my Fairlane he was very adamant as to my having his car. Check my Fairlane on my page to see why. The Ford is one of one.

    Very nice. I think you might be able to get new wheel centers from one of
    the outfits that sells new reproduction style wire wheels. If you're not
    familiar with them, try looking on ebay or google something like Cadillac
    Wire Wheels.

    I can just picture Dean Martin and Frankie rolling in this ride, drunk as hell, doing keybumps of coke, and looking for high-dollar call girls to snatch up on the streets of Vegas.

    What a pimp ride, totally legendary. Congrats!
