    1968 Wheel Choices

    I would warn anyone that changing to large diameter wheels with low profile wheel will greatly reduce the ride quality of early cars. The taller side wall works with the suspension to smooth the ride. Newer cars have a very sophisticated suspension to smooth the ride.

    For Sale Pebble Beige GT/CS -Painted White C155338

    1968 Vinyl top retainer strip

    Ford also used a different style retainer that went on top of the top and wedged between the rain gutter and roof. It was made of stainless steel and looked very nice.
