with brand new ones for the sake of safety...

Not sure if the colors were the same in '74 and '75. Actually I didn't even know they had different names. My car can look deep purple or even black depending on the light.

As far as the wheels goes I bought them from American that way back about 4 years ago I think it was. They weren't offered in that finish in the catalog but they made them that way for me. I had to have them that way, that's the way they looked in the old days other than the polished rim. I had someone at a car show a few years ago tell me that he had tried to get them that way from American and he couldn't. I don't know about that because you can see there they are. God knows they might be the only ones like that?I hope not because all that means to me is someone will try to steal them with my luck.
