Is this a one-off or
is it a production car? If you guessed one-off, you are
wrong. This is Mr. Bill Kingwell's fascinating
automobile known as an Alti. We have to admit
that we have seen a lot of cars in our time but nothing
like this one. This car was factory built in 1984. A
total of 51 Altis were constructed and all but one of
them ended up overseas. The manufacturer kept one car
for himself. Flash-forward to 2011 when Bill purchased
this car for himself. He describes the car as being
"butt-ugly" when he first bought her. That didn't stop
Bill from customizing the car to his own tastes. When it
came to wire wheels, Mr. Kingwell's first choice was
Truespoke. These classic-cross-lace wires were prepared
for Bill's car which is now show quality. This is a
unique car to be sure and we are very happy that our
customer is taking the Alti out to car shows where the
public can enjoy seeing this unusual and distinctive
vehicle. |

Mr. Guy H. Buelens of Missouri
sent us these photos of his restored 1983 Gazelle. As
part of the restoration, our restoration department
restored his wire wheels. Mr. Buelens went on to tell us
in a thank you letter, "Here are some pictures of my car
with the wheels you restored. They are brand new! You
did a perfect job on them. Please use these pictures on
your website. I could not have asked for a better job on
the wheels. The car is a 1983 Gazelle. It took me three
years to build it and I am very proud of it. Thanks
again for the perfect job and I will tell everyone who I
meet who did the work on my wheels. Mr. Guy H. Buelens."
The wheels shown above are how
Mr. Buelen's wheels looked after restoration. For more

Paris, France. This is an ultra-rare Clenet. Although this
car was built in California, the French owner imported this
very clean car to the magical city of Paris. Just picture
this car rolling down the Champs Delysee! The wheels are
custom built 15 X 7 inch with 56 spokes and a special
backspace. The spokes and nipples are made from stainless
steel. We supplied the hubcaps and the owner used the
original Clenet emblelms. The tires are American Classic
brand, size: P235/75R15 from our tire division. The white
stripe is 1.6" wide.
