Default Miss Vick Has Her New Red Shoes and She's Hot!

I finally mounted the original Aurora Red wheels on my unrestored Victoria. The car looks totally different with the undersized Garfield ww's and straw wheels removed. I'm indebted to Larry Bailey for parting with these wheels and several other nice original parts for the car.

I really wanted to bring the car to Saratoga Springs but was unable to for a number of reasons. Jim Lowery was kind enough to go through the car and make it roadworthy and I greatly appreciate his expertise that he lent to it. This was huge as I had no time but now I can at least enjoy it 'til winter. I'm looking forward to driving it to Fitchburg next April.

Larry only had four wheels so I'm looking to upgrade the spare as it is in poor condition compared to the four on the ground.

I'd be interested to know of other original paint Vic's '32s/33's&'34s. If anybody is restoring a '34 I will always be glad to provide answers if need be. This is my only running V8. I love my Model A's but as they say in Boston, Ms. Vick is "pissssaaaa."

Hey Steve, that is one amazing car! It would be great if we could get my 31 Vick and your 34 together for a picture sometime.

Steve, that is one gorgeous vehicle. How many miles does it have on it? Are there any other original parts that you need for it?

Steve
Here's Deja Vue all over again.
I started restoring this vicky in 1967 and have owned it since.
You will see that I have gone the opposite way changing my wheels to solids.
But Change is good.
