Weren't those Marmon 16s lovely cars!! And that one is a stunning restoration (though I'd rather see a nicely preserved original). Correct or not, great choice of period colors and the blackwalls on chrome wheels is a terrific choice. Curious about the tire make, tread pattern is not familiar to me; anyone know?

West, I completely agree with you about gee-gaws, in most cases an abundance of them, to me, detracts from the car. I recently saw a 54 Plymouth hardtop with every option and accessory available (and them some), so much that it took your eyes away from the car (which perhaps was the intention). Other than sidemount equipment and a radio which were original to the car, I've only given my 34 Eight two accessories, both for improved driveability, a driver's door hinge-pin mounted rear view mirror, and a single Pilot Ray driving light because I do occasionally drive at night and like the extra illumination. My 56 only has a single driver's door rear view mirror, and a traffic light finder courtesy of Randy Berger. Plain steel wheels.
