John,
Have you tried contacting the factory as regards both questions. I would
think that they would have sales literature available as re the wheels.
Plus they are probably still using the same type screws today as in 65.
Might even be the same guy. They can be contacted through the net. All in
all it sounds like you got to see a nice assortment of cars and enjoyed
yourself.
