    gscalifornia Small blocks rule!!

    Back in the day Cragar and Keystone were separate entities. Cragar had the SS and Keystone the Klassics. Cragar must have absorbed Keystone at some point years ago.

    I've got a set, I'll try and get some pictures posted. Mine have a gold center that I've never seen on any other car.

    The Keystone look is similar enough to the Buick rims that it works well.

    they certainly would be a replacement for the buick rallyes .

    I ran Keystones in the late 60s. I remember two two types --the chromes and blacked out style. The center caps on the chromes contained a scripted K. They were separate from Cragar back then. I have not seen any in a long, long time.

    Way back in da day the Cragars were everywhere . But the Keystones always stood out from the crowd , and i like that !

    The guys with less dough went with black rims and baby moons . Chrome reverse wheels were next in order .

    Oh , the good ole days ... Gas 35 cents a gallon , smokes were 35 cents , 5 hamburgers at Mickey D's were a buck !!

    Hi Jacker air shocks , cherry bombs and thrush mufflers ..

    32 cents/gallon although during gas wars I saw some 10 cents/gallon. The nice thing about it was you could look at it first up on top of the tank in the fish bowl.
