Re: Gibb/Harrell 70 El Camino and Nova
Yep, I know of two life-sized cardboard advertising pieces in someone's basement. (Mr. Chevrolet holding the Carter Thermo-quad carb.) Carter was one of Dick's biggest sponsors.
I'll bet there are a few members here that have them also................... or wish they did! Pictures anyone?

Re: Gibb/Harrell 70 El Camino and Nova
Neat article!! It states that Kelsey Hayes wheels are on the Nova, does anyone have A better shot of those type wheels? Are those spring clamps the same type that Harrells shop used on the 68 ChevyII's? Thanks for posting it

Re: Gibb/Harrell 70 El Camino and Nova
Your eyes are fine, good catch.
Buried in the article it says: "the addition of Harrell's own brand of deck spoiler."

Re: Gibb/Harrell 70 El Camino and Nova
Those wheels are Kelsey Hayes "Strippers"... its a 20 spoke wheel that was used on a fair amount of Dick's cars. There were two types, Strippers and Satin Strippers. Satin Strippers had a black casting finish while regular Strippers were grey (ish) silver or gold. They came in 3 sizes... 15x7 are very tough to find, 15x6 are most commonly sold and 15x4 are pretty tough too.
Satin Strippers: Click Here Here is a shot of my Camaro... 15x6's on all 4 corners...  Here is a DH Camaro with Strippers on it: (sorry for the size) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...onDHCamaro.jpg An original KH magazine ad:   Credit Steve Sandlin for this picture! This is from his old DH Camaro... note the correct exposed lip of the wheel:  A set of 3 claimed to be NOS Strippers just sold on ebay for $300. I have a list of the current prices. I know a member here was (or is) selling a complete mint set for around a $1000. NOS Satin Strippers: Click here! Hope this helps! -Dan
