Any 57's delivered w/ Large Hubcaps/ Black Walls?

[Jacob A.]

Just curious...

according to the black book, for M.Y. 1957 one could have ordered the wider, 5 1/2" wheels and dog dish caps with black walls, regardless of having big brakes. RPO 276 (51 Corettes were sold like this)

I am curious if any 57 would have been delivered with the standard 5 inch wheels, Larger Hubcaps and Black walls?

thanks and Happy Holidays,

Base equipement was 5" wheels, blackwall tires, and full wheel covers, so if you didn't order RPO 276 or 290, that's what you got.

Tom: All I know about the picture is that it is from Ed Teskey's file that I have and that we think that it was taken in Denver?

Tom -

As I recall, it was a dealer drive-away event.
