Default Re: Cars with Torque Thrust style wheels!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 2MQ</div><div class="ubbcode-body">An old beat up polaroid that is precious to me. It was given to me by the original owner of my '68 RS when I bought it from him 3 years ago. He was home on leave from Vietnam when he bought it new at Grant Chevrolet in Fremont Nebraska ( 10 blocks from my shop ). He took this picture the day he brought it home, &quot;in transits&quot; and all. It's creased because he took it back with him to show all of his buddies. This photo has a lot of mileage on it.

Back to the theme of this post - 1st retail owner took delivery with Torq Thrusts that were installed by the dealer when the owner's son was using it as a demo. It was sold as a new car this way.

The Day 2 wheels of the 1960s were usually 14-inch so the original tires could be used. OEM redlines on 14x6s were common.
