Default "Cruzin"

A couple weeks ago I was out for a cruise and a friend of our daughter saw me and followed me and took a picture just for fun. He sent it to our daughter who had the picture framed and gave it to me for Father's Day. Think it would make a good picture for my obituary? LOL

One of the few things not original to the car. I put steel wheels and radial tires on a couple years ago as it improves the ride and handling so much. Installed 235/75/15 on the rear and my speedometer is "dead on". 185/75/15 on the front.

Aha! Well, I notice the "little" details. Do ya maybe have a side shot with the new tires/wheels? I sure do like that rear view! DD

Probably not for the "purists" but it stopped the shimmy at 120 mph. LOL

I do like the (big 'n little) wheels and tires. In fact, I like it all. DD
