What era are you looking at... ? 50's...60's...90's?

In Response To: Looking to build the AMT '32 Vicky in "Iron Lady" 70s-era street rod guise, but hoping to avoid using the Rally GT tires. Any suggestions for more accurate tires? TIA *NM* ()

There are almost infinite choices out there.

For some reason, the Vickys seemed to be more finished and 'decorated' compared to other '32s, most pics have been with an early mag wheel.

IMO, one would be stunning on Radirs and big/little whitewalls, depending again on what you were trying to do with it. Wouldn't mind a little monkeying around with the wires from the '34 pickup either, with suitable mods to get the right stagger.

- I think the same suspension & tyres are used even up to the latest reissue, I'd swap any & all the suspension, tyres etc from the Revell 1990's onwards 32 Ford kits, Roadster, 3W, 5W, Tudor & Speedwagon....they'd all be an improvement over the 4WD/nose high stance..lol. *NM*

  - I was sort of thinking 1970s (I've been looking at Marty's old street rod show pics...), so I was thinking slotted wheels, but wires...hmm, maybe a resto rod look *NM*
    - Bet a dozen guys here have the wires from the very common Monogram '32 in the yellow box from the '80s.
    - AMT Silhouette and '65 Riviera have similar wire wheels, either would look good *NM*
