Looks OK to me - it's the same colour as the one I got a chance to drive.
In  fact it looks a lot like the one I drove - same wheels & headlights,
so it's probably a similar model year.

There’s an even bigger flaw. It would be much better if it were my name and 
address on the title.

Most of the cars that should have correct wheels, like the E-Type and MG, have 
correct wheels. The survivors, like the old truck, also have correct wheels. 
The Ford Model A hot rod has 1950s hot rod wheels, which is in keeping with its 
genre. Cars like the sixty-something Valiant convertible with late model 
aftermarket wheels are restored mods. They’re not particularly valuable 
collectibles, just entertainment cruisers.

More than of the cars shown have wheels that don't belong there and,
worse, are way out of period.

I assumed it is a replica, as the wheels are so obviously wrong.  Considering 
the price those things go for these days, only a loony would "customise" a real 
one.

A bit of google fu says the steel wheel xk140s have the same bolt pattern as a 
50’s buick with 15” wheels.

To me, those wheels look like they could well be aftermarket mags from the 60’s 
or 70’s, and could have been put on 50 years ago before the car had achieved 
it’s current sacrosanct status.  If my interest in the car were to drive it 
rather than just let it appreciate in value in a hermetically sealed garage, I 
could easily see running those wheels rather than beat up stock steel ones.

Without seeing the interior, or under the bonnet it’s a lot harder to tell for 
sure whether it’s a replica, or owned by someone who likes cars more than car 
shaped expensive statues.

making
replicas using the old bodywork panelbeating jigs, but mounting the body on more

I certainly did enjoy a lot of those!

I think my favourite has to be the old Jaguar.  Would that be a '55 XK-140?

GESVR

[Bill]

Extra points if you figure out the acronym.

Amid an ever increasing pandemic, I decided to venture out of the house 
today for the local cable company's annual car show.


No Pentax content, I took the Fuji XT-1 and 35mm lens with a polarizing 
filter.
