The '69 Camaro is an example of a beautiful car that just looks wrong because of too low profile tires. Totally incorrect for the era - and yes, I know I'm out of step with current tastes.

My '55 will have 17" rims because it has to, to clear the Corvette front calipers but I stuck with 50 series sidewall tires and even those are too low for me. I'd prefer at least 60 series.

The Malibu wagon is a phantom as far as I know. They never made a two door wagon in that era, correct? It looked very well done.

I've never really been a muscle car guy - though I like them. But the big Impalas of '65, '66 & '67 are really starting to grow on me where before I'd have thought of them as big boats.
