    I've got similar plans for my '86 Country Squire, actually! I plan to tint the glass like this one, and add the Chrysler aluminum 15" wheels very soon. The stock 205-75R15 tires are just too damn small on these cars. I love the way this car has the wheelwells filled up with tire!

    54000 miles. Wow. I'm sure not many '81's left with mileage that low.

    Nope, I am anti-ArmorAll. Haven't used that, or any other similar product, in 25 years.

    225/70R15 tires fill the wheel wells much better than the stock size. Much wider, and you have to use a different offset or the front rub the frame rails. These wheels do look great on it.

    I wonder what it looks like, on the underside.

    Also, I run 225/70/15 tires all around on my colony park. Looks good but, wider would look better. 235/60/15s up front and 255/60/15s in the rear would be good. Or, 255/60/15s all around, with small spacers on the rear wheels(since track width is little more narrow, than the front).
