Sjcrft: Nice car I have one also, I would like to ask you if you have one of the N-93 wheels as a spare (meaning 5 wheels per car) or does the car have a plain rim. Also are there any decals specific to N93 option wheels on the trunk lid???? I have 4 complete wheels and would like to know if I need a fifth?????

Although this car was 99.9 percent original (even the gm packard wires) there was no spare tire or rim . we are not sure if the n93 wheels came with the car originally it did come with the standard hubcaps in the trunk and no special labels on how to remove the wheel covers just the jacking instructions label

Congrats.... What a happy Father's Day it will be for the Father in question....

I bought a 1965 Delta 88 & it had the N93 option wheels, and the spare had the correct rim. So I would say if your car came with that option, it would have the correct rim, so when you have a flat, you could put the wheel cap back on. 4 wheels cap & 5 correct rims, I think would be right. I did not have any stickers in the trunk to show how to remove the cap. I'm sure the salesman would have showed the buyer.. Once the car was sold, the new owner may not know how to remove it correctly.

Nice Job! My old co-worker still drives the white with red interior that his dad bought new. He had it painted a few years ago.
I was able to salvage the seats , console and tilt wheel out of a 65 Starfire for my 61 olds project. I love the wrap around seat trim vs. the wrap over trim.
