I had some cheap new whitewall tires mounted so I could roll the old girl into the garage. Only one of the wheels held air. Looking at them a bit closer, I found that the one holding air was the only original Stude wheel. The other three were a mix of Ford and Mopar...and all with different backspacing.
We rubbed the whole car down with TR3 and scotchbrite pads. Nice original mauve patina coming through. I also put a '56 Cali plate on that I'd been hauling around through a few moves. I probably had that plate for over thirty years.
