walker wheels

Hi, yes, I'm aware that between members in DKP was some kind of competition spirit, mostly oriented on performance above all.
Aronsons car and Lazeby's Butternut car were school example how to make a good looking cal-look bug.
They both stand the test of the time, very easy !

Art, thanks for the compliment on my Butternut car. I think those that speak badly of the Walker Wheels you have don't understand or appreciate the history that goes with them. Through your diligence of keeping them and then a very involved restoration you have something to be truly proud of. That was a special time that we lived with our cars of the day and you have managed to keep a part of that history alive.
Just yesterday I got the urge to take our '61 Sunroof 2276-48 IDA out for a ride by myself and drove out to Cook's Corner and back stopping along the way for lunch. That brought back great memories of a young kid in a '63 Sunroof (pre Butternut) doing the same thing some 50+ years earlier. I was so inspired that I'll take it out again today and meet my Bride for lunch. This car has a set of 5 repro BRM wheels which were the ones I could never get my hands on back in the day. So I had to settle for a NOS set of American Torquethurst real Mags. Wish I had those today... [my/b]

Dear John,
Still playing with our toys. Our top (DKP) was very high ^ it was always a challenge. I am still seeks relevant wheels of choice, would have loved to get magnesium torques, like yours.
The complement was well earned and set new heights, and was the envy of those who truly appreciate works of auto art.
