Hi, I was just wondering what the center caps for the 68 Riviera wheels should look like. (I called them Road Wheels, not sure if that's the proper term, I'm talking about the chrome steel wheels) The caps on the wheels on my 68 are sort of silver with a Riviera emblem behind a clear plastic cover. Were the chromed steel wheels an option on the 68 Rivs? Thanks for any input! Jim Humphrey

Questions... Hey there, I have a few q's. 1) how do you read tire measurements? 2) what affect does the size of the tire have on gas mileage? (have an idea, just not refined) o No: Thanks, :TU:
