That's some heavy duty wheels, on it.

Twenty plus years ago, I bought a brand new 1995 Chrysler Le Baron convertible for my wife. Beautiful car, black with a camel top and interior and goldish aluminum wheels. The 3.0 six would scream.
Anyway, while doing the paperwork, the salesman points to lavender Le Baron with a white top on the showroom floor and asks if we wouldn't rather have that one. Seems that car was ordered in that color combo for a Florida dealer and ended up in northern IL instead. They wanted it gone. My wife took one look and said, "Ick." Me, on the other hand, said, "Throw in that 56 De Soto on the used lot and you got a deal." I swear that they were considering it but Mrs. C let go with a roundhouse to my shoulder that I still feel to this day.

1956 De Soto four door in two tone puke green with a dual quad hemi and three on the tree. What wasn't to like.
