Default Re: Any clue what these are

Rick,

------These are original wheels and tires for a very early Stutz neo-classic. The ones that used a long nose Grand Prix as a starting point (1969 and up). Im not sure of the first year of manufacture but it was right around 1970/72 and went on into the later 70s. Obviously the idea didnt take off and these became very big paper-weights fairly soon. A bunch of stars like Dean Martin and the rest of the "Rat Pack" owned those Stutzs early on and you see the cars come up for sale at auctions on a regular basis, but I doubt you will see one with these wheels and tires as the whole set-up had to come off when the tires wore out as there were no replacements. The wheels were to narrow to put anything else on so became useless. More often than not the cars then got either wire wheels or those hideous chrome wheels with the fake basket wire front at that point..........Bill S
