Joe,
I was too busy looking at the rest of the car to worry about the wing nuts..............but now that you mention it, did they look like the ones of the '57 photo you posted last week? I have looked through Nolands book and so far have found three different styles of wing nuts in the '56-'57 section of photos.

I gotta get a life!!

Gary, Those wing nuts on the 57's have always been a mystery. Even on the original pics you see a variation. At the shows you don't see the same thing twice. Wish though someone could say this is the wingnut and that's it. But...... John

John..I wouldn't bet the farm..but I would select the type shown on Bob's car..as a good candidate...for 56/67.

Joe,
Looks like you got some great photos last weekend. Thanks for sharing them with us. Did you get my email about the balancer on '57 FI passenger cars? Bolted or rivets?
