Re: IML: RE '68 Multiplex & '68 Rims

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

My '68 Convertible came with the metal ribbed door panels. I have a pair of spare '67 door panels. They are also metal ribbed. I do not have a stereo in my car.

I am asking again since no one replied the first time. Do early '60s 15" rims bolt on to a '68 Imperial? If no one responds, I will be jacking up the car later today to find out myself. Just thought if someone knew that they didn't, it would save me some time. 

I haven't seen a '67 or newer car with old rims, but I seem to recall my father using the spare out of my mother's '60 on the front of the '68 when we had a tire issue years ago.

Thanks!

Paul W.
