This car is absolutely stock and I want to keep it as close to original as possible.I should mention, my wheels are 15" not 16" thanks Last edited by bigblack74; 04/20/14 09:19 AM. 1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe 1941 Buick Special 1938 Oldsmobile F38 1947 Hudson Commodore 1977 Chevrolet Impala 1966 Buick Electra All Drivers.

Good used ones are probably available farther south away from the snow and salt zone. I need to find some also, as my brother put 15"s on my '40 when he was running it back in the '60s.
