What did you do to your C-body today....

[King Hooter]

Took advantage of the 70°f Minnesota March weather and cleaned my girl up.

But now I'm noticing that the tires are starting to show their age. (2008 iirc) Now the hard part:
Do I keep the white walls and lace aluminums?
Go with the original black rims rwl dishes or spider caps?
Or should I try a set of 50 year old customs that dad had on his Chevy Van and Caprice when I was growing up. (Supposed to be uni-lug).

The wheels look good, the front whitewalls look good. I'm riding my new Goodyear's made in July 2000

Car looks nice too

 

[furious70]

The fronts look way more right than the rears to me

 

[Snotty]

Don't like the look of the back wheels. Too big for that car.

 

[Just Carbs]

Replaced a window switch.

 

[67_300_Convertible]

Put the top down and drove it.

 

[Kup]

White convertible is a beautiful car.

Still have work to do but having a windshield makes the car drivable. Took the car for a drive about 25 miles, got it up to speed. Turn signals were not working when they had during my initial testing. By the time I got home they were working? Probably a ground issue somewhere.

They had to warm up.

They had to warm up.

Another thing that might be causing problems is I have bulbs in the dash, I have been told that if you have the fender top indicators they didn't put bulbs in the dash.

My 300 has bulbs in dash and on fenders. Work great

I believe the factory didn't put bulbs in the dash with fender indicators, but I think they got installed by a lot of owners and dealers.

I've seen it both ways. My folk's '65 Newport did not have bulbs in the dash, yet my '70 does. A McDonald's co-worked drove his parent's '66 New Yorker, both in and out worked.

Got the speaker grill, cleaned up and painted some of the trim, the gray and black left the rest untouched.

 

[Snotty]

Seat backs look great!
