  2. Anyone who doesn’t like it can leave in taxi, if they can’t leave in a taxi they can leave in a huff, if that’s too soon they can leave in a minute and a huff.

    I've always liked the two door 210 wagon much more than the Nomad. This one is a beauty!!!!

  8. Amazing what a change of wheels & some old school lettering on the door can change a car, looks great. HRP

    Which one is the before and which one is the after? I prefer the shiny wheels.

    Torque Thrusts would make even a manure spreader look better.

    But when you put 'em on something nice like that...

    SHAZAM !

    Hey @Groucho
    Thanks for posting both of those pictures.
    The top picture with the stock wheels and little baby moon hubcaps, certainly does bring back some great memories of my high school days.
    Thanks from Dennis.

    I am a sucker for Torq Thrusts. Have been for damned near all of my life.

    The lettering is cool, but its truly not needed for this great car.
    How ever the torque thrust wheels, really do make a big difference which is very cool.

    The wheels make the car. The lettering is period correct and is very tastefully done. Without knowing you; if I saw you in it, I would be more inclined to approach you and talk cars as it makes speed look like your business. Well done!
     
  21. No,,,,,the signage is what really makes it scream Cooool !
    That’s a good looking car but with the lettering,,,it makes it stand out .

    I’m with Snoc,,,,,you would want to talk to that guy .

    Very nice choice.

    Glad you didnt put 20" rims with rubber-band tires on it , Yuk!.... and didnt lower it

    I always thought cutting the rear wheel wells to a round shape to fit big rear wheels on '55 completely ruined the car body and looked ugly as hell
