mrpushbutton Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Heck, I'd be happy just seeing a Packard with disc wheels. They are usually the first thing to go after the new owner takes possession of the car. My friend Don Sommer doesn't mind, though-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I love the discs (makes the car look like it's moving while standing still) but not in chrome. There was a car fitted just so in Hershey, but I don't remember where I saw it. Too much chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 How about chrome discs and dual rear spares, also an option in '32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbirdman Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 In 32 options where painted wheel, painted wheel with chrome spokes or chrome wheels and spokes. Here's a neat picture of Clark Gable standing next to a coupe roadster with chrome wheel disc covers.I now had wished I went with black walls as they would have looked good with the chrome wires. However I do not want to spend the $$$ now for the wheels plating and then about $1500 more for tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl B. Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 In either the Packard Club Cormorant or CCCA The Classic Car, I've seen a Waterhouse bodied convertible victoria with full chrome discs... Seems like the paint is maybe light and dark green with orange.... not exactly my colors.....B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hey, Ken! Now you're talking my language!!! And you're right, if you've got chrome wheels, you need to have black tires. I like the Clark Gable car, but the white tires and chrome discs look kind of wierd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
