 I came across the following car that might be of interest to the board:

I also found a link to some great photos of the car:

I love most everything about this car and if my budget permitted, I'd probably do my Gran Torino similarly.

Here's a little info about the rolling stock that I gleaned from studying the photos of the Cyclone:
- Wheels are American Racing VN500s
- Tire sizes are 255/40r17 (front) and 315/35r17 (rear) ------------- Joe '76 S&H Gran Torino http://starskytorino.com/joes/joes.html |

There is no way, NO WAY you could have picked a better picture of that wheel. The sensuous curves, slender spokes, tight angles and flat midsection go so well together... ------------- Joe 1972 Mom's Squire Wagon 1972 Torino Wagon 1976 Torino 1968 Cougar XR7-First batch 1972 Torino 460 1989 BroncoII/Jeeps/Titanimous Popeye and Brutus (Rams) |
