It’s sac religious having those Lincoln wheels on her, lol.. but they do looks good...

Thanks for the compliments guys, I told Mr. P to take a hike
The wheels are actually from the Mopar Family, a 78 Chrysler Cordoba (with Corinthian Leather) which I swapped out for the original steel wheels
They work well with the car while the original hubcaps for 76 were, IMHO, bland.
I have since then bought 4 steel wheels and hubcaps from a 77 NYer , those caps look much better, but the wheels need work.
The thought was to put the steel wheels on during the winter storage times but at my age I'm getting more lazy....

Very clever

Cordoba covers do look good, didn't realize they look quite similar to mid-70's Lincoln.

@vlodarty Do you know what Corinthian leather is......?

 

[vlodarty]

Just a Marketing phrase used by Chrysler and majestically spoken by Ricardo M., from what I understand

For the right price you could have them with the car. LOL

Formals may not be the most popular C's but from what's shown you have one of the nicest. I would think $7500 would be very light, I'd keep it for that price.

I wouldn´t sell that nice car for $7500. The buyer could flip it for 12k.

Thanks to all for the advice, I felt it was too low for the condition and care that was put into 38 years of ownership.
My better half almost kicked my butt when I mentioned the $ number, since her name is on the title.
But we do think it's time to find a new caretaker so I need to write up the history and post soon.
Any advice would be appreciated, Vlad
