I have a 63 P1800S (chassis 6501, the 501st car made in Sweden apparently) and it has mismatched wheels.

Out of curiosity, which are the correct ones ? The driver's side wheels or the passenger front ?

You got a grill from a 66 there, should be a Caddy style finned egg crate.

Pie pan hub caps were only used through chassis # 6000. They used this style from chassis # 6001-12,499. Both used the non slotted wheels.

Thanks Ian. It looked like that in the book I have but no chassis numbers were given.

Ken, I have the appropriate grill, I'm not sure why that one is on the car except for the fact that the car had no less than 4 radiators. Actual radiator, a small radiator from it (like a heater core) going to the front of the AC unit, and then an oil cooler on the side.

It's all gone now.
