I'm sure gumby feels right at home again, as there were on my MS C6 before. And back on your MS C6. Glad they worked out for you Stan.

Nice Euro taillights BTW


Aloha,

Larry

Good ride....

Curious, maybe I missed it, but why are they referred to as GUMBY?

Look up some pictures of gumby from the children's program. The way the spokes of those wheels fatten out at one end look somewhat like Gumby's legs

Better yet, here's an image

That's funny...


I may be impartial, but I like the Gumby wheels, much better than the twin spoke... or the seven spoke....

Ever see one go by from a side view? With all the open space it looks pretty amazing....

I like the wheels on the Vette. Quite the ramps too.

THanks for sharing Stan ... glad you found a set. Still one of the best looking C6s I have seen!

And the Blazer looks good also
