Amazon: - wheel trim rings

nonhog · Nov 14th, 2012, 21:14

Can anyone tell me if these are factory?
Looks like different wheels than my 66. Will they fit the slotted type wheel?
Anybody remake them?

Thanks in advance

I was going to say that the trim rings look right, but not the rims, and maybe so. I didn't know there new ones available

Pre 65 Amazons with solid wheels had the stainless beauty rings. They fit the slotted wheel just fine. Should be a few sets available to you if you look around. Maybe Chris aka Agent Strangelove?
Wheels look to be about 6" so could be Ford etc.

It would be nice to see a side view. Thought about A.S. after I posted this.
He and I have bought and sold to each other. Nice guy.

2nd question I found that picture under a heading of green Amazon.
It seems to have a green look to it. But not like the one behind it.
At a glance it seems to be white?

That is "Light Green" code #91. Usually came with mid green interior. Rare in the UK and not common elsewhere.

Off-topic, but I saw a nice one with a white roof and wirewheels, think it was in NW USA. Okay, it actually had a dent or two in it, but I did love the colour-combo.

I've only seen a few 2 tone wagons and some were nice others not my cup.
Didn't snap a pic did you?

I'm thinking colors over as it was my wifes car 100% but since I sold my Olds
she said I could race the 122. Engine swap of course.
But I think it has to have a "sleeper" feel to it.
Her plan was "buff" yellow like the primer.
I'd rather see it the original white. Not an exciting color but timeless.
And I like it. Still considering other colors as well as possibly a 2 tone.

A couple of USA 2 tones. I rather like the green one.

Funny the orange and cream one is near me. He actually asked me if I would consider trading my Oldsmobile for a 66 Amazon wagon.
LOL
"No thanks I already have one"

I had forgotten about the other one, it is nice looking.
