Spotted an old codge at shops today, driving about in a reasonably clean (very tidy other than odd I'm-getting-to-old-to-drive dints..) AR Ford Telstar Ghia.
It was sporting what would have to be one of the coolest 1980's OEM wheels..
Who cares about brake temps, when your wheel looks like a damn hot-cross bun!
It would be interesting to know who designed them at ford at the time, as they're all very unique and memorable for factory wheels..
How's about these ones? (usually these caps are hammered..!)
OR..
Better yet, one of my very favourites:
I have a mate who still owns one of these, and i always admired the wheels. hell, i've always secretly loved the car!
thats all. :)
These were sold in the USA as the Mazda 626. I was a BIG fan of the 83-85 626 Touring (5dr). Did the Telstar have a "Swing" which would oscillate the front vent louvers?
ReplyDeleteFunny you mention it; but the TX5 Turbo i mentioned above definitely does. Needlessly awesome..
