Great looking ride!
I agree, love those wheels. Are they stock?

And good news…the Olds Nationals will be in your backyard next year.

The wheel covers and spinners are original Kelsey Hayes n93 only used in 64 and 65 and have specific rims they mount on. So stay away from curbs...lol

Any chance that Cougar is a 1968 with the venerable 427 FE Side Oiler?

OK, with those rims I do not detect any "curb feelers" on that beautiful car.
Or maybe I should ask: Are curb feelers passe?

Make sure you're always around if the car's getting tire work. Course most tire shops are used to pulling the center cap and unbolting the wheelcover now.

I looked for those N93 wheels for my 64s for 15 years and finally realized the 1964 wire caps look just as good without all the aggravation and balancing issues.

I was hoping to avoid the curb feelers till the retirement home came calling, or I put the left directional on and never turn it off.......

Greetings from Brentwood TN. Your Olds is beautiful and I love those rims too. Hope our paths cross at a C&C in Cool Springs.
