white paint must have been cheap in 65, like vedero green in 68, as the majority of the 65's i see seem to be that color. either that or the people who bought the white cars just treated them better so they lasted longer.

someone should build one of them as a police interceptor. the black/white scheme would look cool on one of the 65's all dressed out with period lights and poverty caps.

I suppose these pics don't really belong here technically because of the year category, but thought I'd throw em out anyway. These are Wheel Vintiques Corvette style rallys with the GM 5 in bolt pattern for pickiups and vans. They were pretty reasonable---think I paid about $160 for all for from a vendor at Jefferson WI swap meet----they're 15 x 7 with basically no "offset". I had a big plan to make custom center caps for these and pretty much have them done, but have sort of come to like the "unfinished" look. I might add that these did not have enough visual "pop", and have since been replaced with chrome versions---which I like a lot better.
