Unknown why those wheels are on this car. They had cancelled them months before the Charger Daytona became available. They were an option and some made it out before the recall/cancellation on the R/T and the 500 along with the Charger.

These are repros. The original design (as seen on the Daytona) used trim rings

1950 Cadillac Debutante Show Car. The guard is standing there to bring attention to the 24 karat gold plating used on the car.

Quote:

When chrome and leather aren’t enough, how do you kick things up a notch? With 24-karat gold plating and exotic animal skins, evidently. That was the apparent strategy behind the Cadillac Debutante dream car, built for display at the 1950 Chicago Auto Show and at the General Motors Mid-Century Motorama, which was staged at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan that same year. In the company’s press materials, the Debutante was described as “the most luxurious Cadillac ever constructed,” and its value was estimated at $35,000.

A Detroit furrier was commissioned to obtain the 14 choice animal skins, described as “Somaliland Leopard from the East Coast of Africa,” that were used to cover the upper portions of the the front and rear seats and portions of the door panels, while the seat lowers were upholstered in opalescent gray nylon silk. (Today we’ve found a more practical use for leopard skins: on leopards.) Adding to the spectacle, all the interior trim including the instrument bezels, horn rings, and door handles—and even the ignition key—were plated 24-karat gold.

And it appears to still be active today. There are other vents still active in that whole area of the Solomon's, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines. Part of the Pacific Ring of Fire.
