While some of your wheel choices are not my style, (I am a self proclaimed redneck after all) that's one good looking ride. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more attention. It's always good to see one of these cars in the hands of someone who appreciates it. I'm digging those Vogue tires though.Owner of the only known 5 speed box wagon with a lift kit.

I think I like the wire spokes in the last pic. What size are they?
Can you translate "slab" and "swangers" for those of us who aren't from Texas?

I like the wheels in the 3rd and 4th pics from the bottom, give it more of a muscle car look except those need RWL tires. Btw what percent tint is that? I like it, nice and dark. I say when you tint your windows, go dark or go home.88 Town Car (wrecked, for sale)

I think the riding with the doors open might be a reference to this...

ok just to clarify....here is a 101 lesson of a houston texas SLAB
Slow
Loud
And
Bangin
slab= a vehicle with 1984 cragar elbow rims and vouge tires, belts and buckles across the trunk, 5th wheel with recline, pop trunk with subs && neon lights, candy coats of paint && any other things you would like to add.
swangers= rims that poke outside the lip. 1984 and 1983 cragar wheels known as elbows, 4s, swangas, super pokes gorilla pokes. a htown traditional set of rims that can cost from 1500-4700 dollars...
the rims are called swangas because there is a sport to driving on these rims its a road thing that people in slabs do that you swerve from lane to lane not allowing others to pass. youtube it to see what it looks like.
pics so you can get a hang of what im saying...

I'm not a fan of neons, but otherwise, that's pretty cool. The green caddie, especially.

I like the wires actually, and generally I'm not a fan of wires. The fat spokes are a lot cleaner looking than those 100 spoke 13" things most people seem to run. Always thought a tiny wheel looked silly on these cars.

That's a nice cruiser you got. I like the wire wheels myself, they look right on these cars. Your CV is a 2-door twin of mine; just in much better condition.
