What brand of wheels are those? I've seen some other cars using them in these old photos and they just don't ring a bell from what I was used to in the old days. At a glance, they look like Hursts but the spokes appear to be flat instead of concave.
Maybe the Fenton decal is a giveaway, but I sure don't remember them making those wheels. I mostly remember chrome slots and black spoke mags from them.
For trivia points, anyone remember the two other "brothers" to the Cragar SS while used the same style?
During this era I was racing a 340 Duster with that stupid 4" bolt circle so I was limited to Ansen aluminum slots unless I wanted to redrill the hubs/axles. I do have to admit that Mopar's craziness saved my wheels, though. One morning I came out to my car to discover two wheels on the same side and three twisted off lugs between them.
Good thing the thieves weren't smart enough to know about left handed threads.
