Hi, everybody.
My cream colored '59 Plus 4 is hopelessly disassembled and somewhat
incomplete... I'm not a contender for the $500. But, if any of you
wants to be a movie star and your 4/4 or Plus 4 has wire wheels, I can,
perhaps, improve your chances. I recently acquired a set of 4 knock-off
alloy wheels that are almost perfect imitations of Plus 8 wheels...
