Location: Farnborough. Hampshire. England. | It's sad for me to see her go Jan, but I know that it's gone to a good home...The demolition men move in on our storage facility next week, it's all being pulled down, I have got 3 big Plymouths at home, my tow truck at Mopar Nick's workshop, and my Peugeot and BSA at my daughter's house...
The car looks great cruisin' down the Autobahn, and I bet you got loads of looks from the rubberneckers.. And mind you don't get your arm sunburnt when you are driving with it resting on the door |

I think these are just for driving it home.
After the car is inspected they can get small plates I guess. At least, that's how it works here |

Location: bishop, ca | I was going to mention how nice those tires looked on your car, but see that you (have had to?) change them
(to radials).

Location: Parts Unknown | WTF is up with THAT ???? Just say no to skinny stripes/radials !
|

Location: North Australia | Go the '70 L.T.D. (living the dream) tyres. 60 Plymouths are fine looking cars, with any tyres on ém! This ride looks beaut' in Black.

Location: Parts Unknown | The car looks formal and sophisticated with proper whitewalls as seen up top. It instantly
takes on the appearance of a beater in the trailer park with radials like this. Deduct 10 points !
|
|
|
|
Location: North Australia | How many points deducted for an Imperial with ''trailer trash'' tyres on it?
Anyway, 1960 cars have a wild side to them, not like the stodgy 55 to 59 models, so the racy narrow walls look the part (as they forged into the future)! Take a look at the talent hanging around that car!
Piet, your car looks the Sh!t with them radials on it.

I agree that 1960 was a great year for Belvederes!
Thanks for those latest photos!

Put 'em on an E-Type or a Stingray, and I'd agree.

Location: Hamburg-Germany | yes we have to change the tires -the nices white walls where old and cracked-the radials we have in stock from the 62 chrysler
the really white walls are very expensive in germany - $2000 for a set of 4-
Piet drive the car all day - so better radials as drive a hyundai and let the beauty in the garage

Location: bishop, ca | NOT hijacking your fine thread, but this 56 IMP is the only FWDLK'er I've ever seen that
looks good with narrow WW's.
Didn't even notice its tires when this car was posted on the Evil-Pay.

Location: Parts Unknown | It just hit me ... the perfect analogy. When I looked at that picture again of the "pin up" girl
leaning against the car above ...
Skinny whitewalls/radials look about as proper on a finned car as a dude with an exposed hairy
chest and beard in those same clothes leaning against the car !
Some things just ain't right !

Location: North Australia | Doc, please send the thigh high white stockings (large pair, I'm 6'2") and some cherry Lipstick to me. We'll test your perfect analogy. I recon My 60 Imp 2drht will still look good!

for the planet. Where are the airbags ? .... and crumple zones ? .... side impact rails ?

Our cars are our OWN selfish pursuit, congrats on yours. I'd love to see your car next to my Formal Black 60 Windsor. |

Doctor, is that a recent photo of you or an old one?
