Bud Lindemann definitely enjoyed his work didn't he?

Don't remember seeing those kind of wheels before.

[Ghoste]

Not a wheel its a wheelcover.  Used on C-bodies but fitted to the early press 500's for reasons known only to Dodge.  Aesthetics I suppose?

also a possible replacment for the 15 in recall wheels

[Ghoste]

Possibly but I would think production dates on the press fleet cars preceded the September 13 recall date, no?

I have 2 of those wheel covers and they are in perfect shape! They also weigh a ton!!!!! I did not know they put them on Chargers.

for sale  ??  i have 4 for my 500 but not perfect ones

[Indygenerallee]

Stuart I would sell them, They were NOS leftovers from my grandfathers Dodge dealership.

Those wheel covers rock! I love the commentary in that video.

[RECHRGD]

"Our best 1/4 mile time was 14.1"  Even with the old bias ply tires they should have been able to do better than that.  Dosen't look like they were trying to control wheel spin at all.  Just a smoke show for the camera IMHO......

[DixieRestoParts]

I think I have some of those wheelcovers. PM me if interested.

Just so you know e car in the video was coded for the w23 wheels but has been wearing those wheel covers since it was first sold. Well it's not wearing them now but they are stacked close to the side of the car currently

Cool, no head rests but had the chrome pieces. Wander if he is related to Jack Webb, just the facts, Webb would have sounded cool doing that report.
