One cannot do much with all the monies in this world but can do much more if he strives toward contentment.

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

Hello Durango
What a great one up of 55 Fairlanes! Can we see more photos of the grey wheels. What a rare beauty. I've only ever seen photos of Antonin's before.
And the later Ford and Dodge police cars with the mix and match roof beacons are pretty nifty too!
Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
Kurt
Happy hunting!

Hi Kurt,
Although in one photo of my 55b, it looks like grey wheels, it is actually silver plastic wheels. It looks like Numi posted a GPW 55b back in October -- very impressive!

Thanks much,
Bill
