[cobra3073]

Good Day All!

As most of you know, the Weekly Fun Question is designed for your entertainment and is normally posted each Saturday night at approximately 7:00 PM (CST).

Any non-VIP member who correctly responds to the question will earn a nice #1 Icon. A non-VIP member who responds to three different Weekly Fun Question" will have his/her fees paid for VIP status. VIP members (who have their very own Periodic Fun Question) may also participate in the Weekly Fun Question but only for "bragging rights." The VIP results are posted in the VIP Forum.

The first member to send the correct response to "rocketfoot" and "cobra3073" will be declared the "winner."

The question this week is:

Can you name four other cars (to include Make, Model and Year) that shared the same styled steel 15" X 7" wheel used on some 1971-1973 Mustangs from the factory?




Good Luck!

Corrected question to cite 15" X 7" instead of 5" X 7".

THANKS, David!!

We still have not received an acceptable response to this question from the "general" membership.

Remember: This particular question will be "closed out" at approximately 7:00PM (CST) today, so you still have time to submit your response.

Well, it would appear that the "general" membership was stumped on this question. The question was:

Can you name four other cars (to include Make, Model and Year) that shared the same styled steel 15" X 7" wheel used on some 1971-1973 Mustangs from the factory?




The correct response is:

1969 Mustang

1970 Mustang

1970 Fairlane

1971 Torino

Source: Hollander Interchange Manual

We only received responses from one general membership member (david020278) who identified a 1969 Boss, a 1970 Boss and a 1971 Torino in one or more of his three submissions. Considering his persistence, I am accepting his inputs as a correct response.

Congratulations, David - - You did GOOD!

Were the Mag 500s for the mid 70s Torinos and Rancheros different then? Were they always the ones with trim rings? I seem to remember the Mustang style on those maybe owner installed?

 

[URUGUAYAN_FASTBACK]

I just red the difference between Original magnum 500 and best repros nowadays somewhere.. let me look at it and if i find the article, i´ll post it

 

[droptop73]

True the repros have polished chrome finished spokes and the originals have a matte chrome finish on the spokes.

 

[cobra3073]

According to my references, they were similar Jeff.

The main difference seems to be in the size. The style steel wheels in the "Fun Question" are 15" X 7". The style steel ones on the Torino and Ranchero were 14" X 7".

The Torino and Ranchero also had a style aluminum wheel starting in 1974 as a 15" X 6".
