Re: IML: 2 question's-wheels & 1932 Imperial

[Chris Hawkins <imperial1966@xxxxxxxxx>]

Wire wheels were not offered by Chrysler after 1956.

Many people install them on later models to upgrade
from 14" to 15" wheels and tires.  (Imperial: 1957-59,
Chrysler: 1957-68 had 14" wheels) However, a seller
who puts them on a 1966 Imperial would make me wonder
what other liberties were taken in the restoration of
the car.  I'd examine carefully before purchasing.
