Here's a Blue Christmas!

 

Not sure what happened….but it’s going to need all the services shop behind it has to offer!

 

This next lot thanks to Greg Thompson.

 

Made by Palmiedes (sp), as in Romeo Palmiedes (sp). Later became American Racing.

There was some discussion here a few weeks back on this subject where a guy was looking to buy/trade some similar wheels, someone (maybe you) responded to a post of mine.
The OP claimed the seller told him 68/69 production (Americans).
I've never seen any of the early Palamides (pre Americans) wheels with the Halibrand style lip around the openings either. Doesn't meen it didn't happen I guess.
