Re: 65 steel wheels - what color?

[Bill Watson <wwatson5@xxxxxxxxx>]

Black wheels were standard.   Wheels painted body colour were optional.

My father bought a brand new 1965 Dodge with hub caps - it had black wheels.
He ordered a 1970 Dodge Polara.  But when my mother heard ir came with black
wheels, my father had to check the box for body-coloured wheels.    It came
from the factory with 4 wheels painted body colour and the spare painted
black.  He had the dealer paint the wheel of the spare tire to match the
other 4 wheels.
