	The Victor has been in my wifes family since 1968, her aunt worked for Captain Nordlinder who bougth it new in late 1957. Only thing that has been done since 1957 is a repainting in 1986 (the one color of Green) and a new repainting in september 2007. Me and the wife has owned it since september 2004 and we are 4:th owner of it! ( Captain Nordlinder, My wifes aunt, another of my wifes uncles and us)On the pics of car newly repainted I tryed some hubcaps borrowed from a friend. don't know what style I will have on it. Also hade som skoda wheels on it when it just was one tone Green (as u will se on some pics)

	What a lovely car! Love the way that the exhaust goes through the corner of the rear bumper! Alloys don't suit it though IMO. It's like one of those push-me-pull-you cars, where you don't know which direction it's going to go

	That's well cool, the two-tone made such a huge difference. Now for the airbags and wide whites....................

	Two tone is nice, quite like the solid chrome wheel covers too. Just needs lowering a couple of inches and its finished

	Yes, alloys didn't suit it. Full chromes look spot on, as does the two-tone treatment!

	Nice nice nice. I actually liked the skinny black steels ;D Definitely lower it though, the big caps show off how high it is off the ground.
