Interestingly, my car had come with chrome wire wheels, they were painted brown in an effort to save money on the restoration. I would liked to have done them in chrome, but the 16 thousand dollar price was too steep for me. I think this is a good example on how tire, wheel, and other options can drastically change how a car looks. The trunk is a factory supplied trunk that was on the car in 1952. All the chrome spears look rather busy and I was planning to remove them, but they too were on the car when it was placed in the junk yard during the war. Thus they remain. I almost forgot, I just bought some side mount covers for the 32, they won’t have the mirrors on them, as the ruin the hood lines.
