Just picked this little bad boy up... Keystone Catalog ala 1967... I love these color shots!

VERY cool! Note the larger diameter of the tire stripes on those old Firestones. Coker must have copied a later design from '68-'69?

Here's another fly-by-nite outfit.

Bob Creitz a "fly-by-night?" I hardly think so. Very impressive machine shop. Had the first dyno in the area. Still in business here in Tulsa: "Creitz Automotive."

I don't work for him, nor am I soliciting anything. He did a lot of work for me and I was always thrilled with the results of his work/products.

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

I meant that he didn't appear to be in the wheel business very long. Didn't mean to take away any credit he deserves for his other work, but in the history of vintage wheels, his were more of a flash in the pan. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

Another wheel by Creitz, this one on a '67 Z-28.

Cool pic, and neat looking fly by night wheels. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

I understand where someone would not recognize the Creitz name and might think they were a small time operation. Not so. They did make intake manifolds, wheels and other speed equipment. Their bolt-together modular wheel design was years ahead of the trend. Do a search online for Creitz & Donovan and you will see a top-notch AA fuel dragster with serious racing credentials.
