That's a great photo. Unfortunately the Montgomery Wards here closed in about 1998 and was finally torn down about eight years ago.
Thanks. Now for the hub caps and to clean the white walls and she'll be sitting pretty with her new shoes.
Got her new shoes on, cleaned all of the blue off of the white walls and installed the boring hubcaps. It actually snowed this morning, so no cruising with the top down tonight.
Even with the boring hubcaps, if they were polished to a bright sheen, those, the red rims and the white walls would just be spectacular.
So, a member of Fullsizebronco has seen this thread, he loves the look, but had this to say about the hubcaps: I like the "Sphinx sporting over-sized nads holding out a hand, as if it was directing traffic" hubcaps better.
Thanks Andrew. The plan is to polish up the caps, touch up the black paint and then impatiently wait for the back ordered centers to arrive.
Are you sure that wasn’t ivy under a different alias I like the Sphinx too orth! Looking great! It would be even better if it had bow ties on the wheels and hood
