Am I seeing this right?

Is that a 64 A body with an 8 lug aluminum wheel on the front?

Jim: Thanks Roger, you're correct, my nose hairs do need a little tuning up. good thing we stopped to validate to your observation.
Roger: You're welcome Jim, good thing we had the car waxed too..

Hood paint (reflection) is awesome -- I Q if it is assembly line norm ... TAZ :dunno:

Here's the car in color. Not sure why they wouldn't have equipped this one with the new-for-1967 Rally II Wheels, but it sure looked sharp anyway. It also had a column shift automatic trans. Prepped and primped through engineering, it made the rounds as a press fleet car. The car still exists today.

Trapp Motors was in New Westminster, BC, just outside Vancouver, Syndicate Scuderia was Jack Williams who campaigned some pretty cool cars in the 60's. Pretty good engine buider!

Thanks for the history. I always enjoy hearing it.
