Great "period" wheel choice. Those wouldn't look good on anything '60s, but they really "work" on that car.

Oh...I agree
These were first issued in '73...
Big deal back then..
A lot of Conversion Van Co 's used them .....
They were only popular but a few years.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Day2_69Z</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Ok Ok, I get it..... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

My original intended use was as a Period correct Day 2 tow vehicle in front of the Orange Z....
That was second choice behind a mid 70's Chevy C10 2wd Truck in a Short bed, 454, 400 turbo,12 bolt posi Silverado.....in Black (original paint) &amp; Red Custom cloth interior with tilt, Air and Cruise. Had Original C10 Rally wheels and RWL radials.
Va. Truck that was in central Ohio.....

Getting the truck would have entailed another project as it needed a Complete Repaint and all that goes with new medium priced paint....seals, trim, chrome, etc etc....
I chose the Malibu, a pretty, turn key fairly original low mileage car needing only minor TLC.......

</div></div>

I got so caught up in the fact that this was about a '74 Malibu that I forgot to echo the &quot;mid 70's truck&quot; sentiment -

My newest Tow Vehicle.... not quite Day 2, but more reliable, better suited and purpose built with 8 speed Hemi tow package and tow mirrors and electric trailer brake.
Just got back from a 500 mile round trip to central Pa..... breaking her in......
Runs strong at 100 mph through the Allegheny mountains.

X2! Now the van needs the full Day 2 treatment: Murals, shag carpet, mirrors, wet bar, etc. LOL.

Seriously though, great choice for a tow vehicle.

That Camaro reminds me of the one John Buttera helped his son build from a wrecked Z.
