Minus the wheels and tires, I'm good.
Technically speaking, is this car "donked" btw -- or just big wheels/tires that can be swapped out with no issues with the car itself (e.g. suspension, brakes, etc.)?

Probably a thread here on this car .. are those correct wheel treatments?
I haven't quite warmed up to road wheels on OTHER than fusies/formals.
THis car looks cherry no doubt and the wheels are NOT "bad" -- but i am coming to feel i might be a "road wheel" snob - a bias against them where they were NOT a factory offering for THAT car/year
I DO like road wheels with ANY kinda tire that fits 'em tho'

Not for me, but my obsessive love of 67 n 68 Polaras and Monacos should write my opinion off entirely. You screw too much with one of these and I won't like it.

This is a hard one for me, I guess I have a thing with fast tops, just love them and this set up really pulls out the menacing aspect of these cars which in turn yanks at the heart strings of a younger GJS. But I don't think I'd do anything of the sorts now.

No good on the sneakers... but everything else being as it seems, nice ride.

My earlier response were concerning a vehicle i own. The "wrong year" wheels or RWLs on a "C" etc. don't bother me at all. There is a point where some wheels just look hideous though. imo. I usually just pass right by them at a show.

Always really dug these Monaco/Polara wheel covers.

me too.
Hey lets toss more examples on where you think the Factory Standard and/or Optional wheel/tire combo is your favorite on C bodies (including wheel covers and hubcaps of course).
For example, I dig steel road wheels and OEM whitewalls (e.g. 3/4" single stripe, double-thin stripes, etc.,) on all Fusies and Formals.
Me too... I once had a 79 St Regis that had been in trouble with the law via the previous owner... it had numerous repaints and the paint was checked as bad as I have seen without it just falling off. A gallon of battleship gray floor paint and a set of these covers changed the whole appearance of that car. Ten minutes with a hammer to put the 1/4's back to close and she was an excellent 20 footer.Always really dug these Monaco/Polara wheel covers.
