"The Plum Wheels Were 100% Linda's Idea"....


I see.. In the prior photo, I didn't see the actual color of the wheels; thought they were a dark grey. I just did up my wheels in glossy metallic grey with Cobra radials, too. Thought we were kindred spirits until I saw we're dealing with a set of four dessert plum pies topped with center caps and wrapped in radial tires LOL I'm not a mandatory match the wheel color to the body color guy, but I don't think your wife's idea looks bad.

Every now and then the right public interest story gets written and picked up by the automotive hobby press and then gets distributed. This one story probably has achieved more favorable press for the AMC hobby then any combination of other stories no matter the source. Thanks Dickie for encouraging the use of it and thanks Linda for encouraging the husband.
I have followed it over a period of time and have never lost interest in reading it over again.

Dickie....I think you totally missed your calling.  You have done a great job getting some great press for Linda's car.  I nominate you for VP of Advertising, AMC After Delivery Sales Division.
