Thanks for sharing the picture. Yes those are the snowflake Wheels. I once had a driving job for a bank and had to drive my supervisor between two different Bank branches
In the bank fleet were Vega wagons couple of Nova sedans with 350 v8s and a couple of lowly chevettes that were automatics. I was prewarned by other co-workers if you were to go up a hill with this older supervisor along when the car automatically downshifted to help it go up the hill, the supervisor would feel that jerk of the shift down and assumed that whoever was driving was spinning the tires at that moment. So I was on eggshells driving him around and had to go up to San Francisco type Hill, but somehow got through it without him noticing anything. Never dreamed in a million years that I would be buying that kind of car for myself, but I really just want the engine and the transmission from Isuzu. I'm hoping eventually the sell the remaining shell to somebody who is a drag racer or a drifter! By the way, one of my co-workers at the time was driving one of the Vega wagons and the starter literally came out and fell down on the pavement!
