When the weather gets warm, tricked-out cars with huge rims come out and start cruising Second Street on Sunday afternoon. Usually they are Buick Roadmasters, ’90s Chevy Caprices/Impala SSs, Crown Victorias, and ’80s Monte Carlos and Grand Prix with rims in the 22-26″ range.
The car pictured below, though, takes the prize for the best I’ve ever seen. This is a mid-’70s model full-size GM convertible that cruised by several times yesterday. I can’t quite tell the make of the car, but I think it’s a GrandVille, Pontiac’s equivalent of the Chevrolet Caprice in those days. The rims must have been 36 inches. And they did not move. At all.
Let’s have a closer look:
“Nice rims, but how does he get in the car?” we wondered. “Does he have to use a ladder?”
