Hi from very cold and snowy Manitoba Canada

[1963JAM]

She's an absolute beauty.

I never considered painting out the Radirs, but it could be a good option; maybe painting the spokes dark gray/granite or even satin black. If you decide to go with different rims altogether, Jeg's has free shipping to Canada if order is over $300.00US. I will post a picture of another wheel I plan to run on my '64 Polara. It is a one piece 15" X 7" aluminum rim that is made to resemble the old chromed steel Magnum 500 wheel. They are sold in Canada by Golden Leaf Automotive, though I got mine at a local swap meet, new in the box. I currently am running them on my R/T because one of the Coker redlines went bad on my other wheels. I plan on replacing my bad Coker and another one with a pair of similar looking Diamondback III's. I think the Magnum 500's will look better on my '64 because it already has a lot of shiny bling on it, plus bright red paint. Picture of my Polara is about 20 years old before latest refresh, with 14" Magnum 500's on it.

go to 50:34 and tell me what u think of the Charger wheels - same color as my car - theyre awesome

Something like mine, but with the '67-'68 chrome rim; mine look more like '69 with trim ring. Did those look like 17" to you? I see Classic Industries sell a wheel that looks the same; billet aluminum. They are pricey at over $500.00US per wheel. By contrast, go to 55.00 on that video to see black R/T backing in with dog dishes on black steelies. It looks kind of bland to me.

I had 15" police wheels painted Daffodil Yellow body color, with Red Stripe '69 caps on my R/T for a long time. The red and black trim on the hub cap matched the colors on the R/T signs pretty well. I decided on a refresh eventually and went with the redlines on Jeg's wheels. I could not decide whether your car was dark blue or black from pictures. I am glad you cleared that up.

'64 Polara 4-door hardtop, with factory buckets and console? I have had my car since 1980 and have only seen one other like it.

I had a 66 Polara way back when. A guy had a 63 like yours - asked me for a drag - and of course a real man never says no - even though i knew I would lose lol - and indeed I did lose - BADDDLYYYY!

A neighbour bought a new red 64 like yours and ours with a 383, his daughter was 16. She sure could drive that car aggressively.

Beautiful Coronet Linden! Welcome aboard from eastern Canada. Nice cold snap you having out there. I hope she is tucked away nicely.
