Thanks Les.Yes on the caps,bought a NOS set over the weekend and already have the clips.Need a set of 5 wheels to send 4 to Stockton Wheel to make 15s.Will just use one as a spare.Tom

I thought I saw in another thread that Stockton or maybe Wheel Vintiques has new 15" rims that will take the clips.

Looks like you ended up with a really nice one!

Hey - There are twwo people walking in that one picture. I didn't think anybody in SOCAL could motivate without 2 wheels under them minimum!

[elefantrider]

thanks. I fell for the color combo on this car, silvermist gray with silverleaf green interior. My first wagon. They are big cars but not as big as later wagons. Pics taken on Mulholland Drive, early am, a walker's paridise. Had to pay special attention not to run over any of 'em!

I have the same Int. So does Krautwolf. I like the tire tread kind of pattern in the Dk material in the center and I love the totem-like pattern on the seatbacks. That stuff wears like iron, and the details really go with the wagons.

thanks Tom. It even came delivered with oil spots on the roof, free of charge. Actually, I just got it the night before my trip and it drove 50 miles to my storage without a glitch. I took those pics a couple of hours before i had to be at the airport..... phew. We need to do a so cal 63 reunion when time allows. chris

I agree, interiors are special on these early big cars. they must wear well because i've seen quite a few cars with good original interiors like mine. my deluxe wheel is in amazing condition, no cracks or yellowing, which is more rare, i think -(the yellowing is due to smoke and sunlight maybe?) i'm also wondering if there was also a tri tone deluxe interior available as an option on wagons as on the sedans in 62-63?

Bonneville only on the tri-tone wagon interior deal. Maybe if you special special ordered you could have gotten it on a Cat.

i thought plaster a couple more pics of this thing here.

it's a date coded, true numbers matching, 389 4v, th 400, 2:73 diff, a/c, p/s , p/b,tilt wheel, grand prix.

she's still wearing what's left of the original paint and a ton of west tx dirt. it appears that the only things missing from it are the fender skirts and the original radio. thanks to txbobcat [bob wyrick] i've got a radio found.

[gregneun]

Before and after pics of pics of the interior work on my car. It's a 64 Gp. Let me know what you think.

I was stupid enough to have the front area carpet put in before I mounted the plastic base for the console. Oh well, live and learn.

I'll have fender skirts for you in a couple weeks when I pick up my 65 Cat.

new look for the 63,removed the Cragers.Tom

[gregneun]

The dog dish units look good on that car. The Cragers did too, but it's nice to have the option.

Love those caps, car looks like it has bad intentions. Amazing how a simple set of poverty caps can transform a car's personality. My poverty caps will stay on my wheels after restore is complete.
