Heh, if the Grand Poobah can do it to the Laurentian....
Actually, I do really like the factory caps. They are quite nice and unique. The problem is that the tires on the car right now, although in good shape, are really all season biased towards winter imop. Older Canadian Tire with a criss cross pattern that really make a lot of road noise. So the Rallys wll go on just for fun.
Can I even buy a nice 14" , say 225-235mm WW radial anymore?

That car looks so classy as is, but I'm not fond of 14's myself. Maybe even 16's on a nice machine finish aluminum rim that looks similar to the hubcaps? There has got to be something avaiable on a good website. 427Carl is the man for that.

another note-somewhat related-Brian Marr has two clean original sets of Canadian Pontiac Rally wheel center caps-one set are plain, the other set are Disc Brakes-he's taking them to Waterdown @ $325 per set
I don't know what the option code is- it just shows them on the "Optional Features" page:
The optional rally wheel illustration shows the wheels on a model other than 2+2 (no fender stripe)
Surprisingly the illustration for the 2+2 shows one in Mayfair Maize with what looks like a rally style hubcap and a Verdoro Green one with the wire wheel covers.

My 69 Canadian Pontiac brochure lists the rally wheels as available across the board and not just 2+2.
Would this not have been the case for previous years?
It doesn't show them in my brochure not saying you they weren't available. But I do know of a '67 Grande wagon that they were suppose to be original on....? This is what I have........
