they are sharp looking covers for sure - the set I bought was intended to give me different look options- so this was an educational post to see that they were available for all Chryslers - I couldn’t get over their weight and number of parts put together to make a hubcap as opposed to the stainless steel option-
She’s a beauty for sure! Gold just really sets all the black off nicely. Did you detail the grill yourself? I did mine and found the masking steps for each color to be very laborious. And yes to your use of pinstripe on the upper body line. Mine came with those, but I’ve often considered alternative designs. Currently I’m working on replacing the power steering pump and having to educate myself on all that entails- i.e. federal vs saganaw (sp)? Etc.
Perhaps there’ll be a show mid way between us one day Virginia/North Carolina and we’ll have the cars side by side!
So somewhere around south Boston might be a possibility- I see something coming up in Danville on June 8th but that’s a long ride for you no doubt - just have to stay on the look out- I know nearly nothing about VA- lol other than the transportation museum in Roanoke and Monticello

And in complete honesty my car runs great but I’ve never driven it more than 30 minutes each way … and then there’s that thing and that other thing I’ve been meaning to get to
The wheel covers shown above were optional on any model of Chrysler in both 1970 and 1971. If one wanted to install them on a 1969 model, it wouldn't bother me. While they are heavy and somewhat intricate, I believe they look great and because they are so desirable, if you can even find a set in good condition anymore, they will also be very expensive to buy.
I lost one from my car and a guy working in his yard found it and gave it to me when I started looking for it. My solution was to tighten it up a bit with some pliers and write my cell phone number inside it. I figure I have about a 50-50 chance that someone will call if they find it. I thought about writing "reward" on it, but decided not to... That would increase the chances.
