PHS Question
Hi guys,
I was looking through my PHS today and noticed the car came with F70/14 redlines. Since there are no wheels highlighted, were redlines used with hubcaps in 68? If so, does anyone have a pic of the look? Thanks |
Redline's with Wheel Disc/ Hupcaps
Now that's something seldom seen, so I was wondering myself.
Since no wheel Disc/cover is highlighted I think it would likely just have come with the base Poverty/ Dog Dish caps. I found only 1 '68 with Red Lines and factory optional Hubcaps, and have to say it does look good. Nice to see something besides Rally's. http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...EET%201968.jpg |
ponchjoe, were they F70x14 or G70x14? The F70 was Firebird, the G70 was GTO. And yes, if wheels were not selected, they came with standard dog dishes.
If this is for a 1968 GTO, the options were: Dog Dish (standard) Wheel Discs-Custom Wheel Discs-Deluxe Wheel Discs-Wire Rally I wheels Rally II Wheels In the photo Jeff posted above, those are the Wheel Discs-Deluxe. Mike |
I'll go back and look again but thought they had marked Red F70-14
|
G70-14 and nothing specified so redlines and Poverty caps, cool!

A good portion of cars sold with dogdish were probably slated to receive aftermarket wheels and the owner didn't want to waste money on factory hubcaps. |
[QUOTE=north;5603721]Very unique mix of options, I guess he needed the A/C to dry off the sweat from restling that steering wheel ;-)
Lol- Since it was sold in Phoenix you are probably right. I'm lazy, it now has the grand Cherokee steering upgrade and had a booster on it when I got it... |
FWIW (and I occasionally post this cuz I think it's fabulous trivia), but poverty caps are hubcaps. What you see in the top green car pic are wheelcovers - there is a difference between hubcap and wheelcovers.
|
WELL if you really want to be trivial the Factory refers to them as WHEEL DISC not Covers
:fencing: ;) |
I know you're being facetious, but I learned it from Wangers, so I have to spread the word. :-)
