Nice stock! Is the 1915 yours? Runabout or Touring? It looks nice with the Buffalo's on it. For some reason, I think the 1915/16 Ts look the best with wires.

Nice!

What classifies the difference between a heard and a hoard?

I only count 25 wheels. Would hate to pay for tires for each of those.

Luckily these Buffalo should start to roam over the next few weeks. I barely remember what the floor looks like anymore! :roll:

Even better you don't know what the couch looks like either!
Everything works in theory.
Reality is how you determine if something works or not.

‘15 touring. Sure seems like everything around here gets Buffalos. Not sure I like the idea of wires on the Avanti tho…? ;)

Count again, 19 new or rebuilt Buffalos for T’s, 5 big car Houk, and 6 original big Buffalos, all ready for their new homes. That’s not even counting the Buffalos on the cars! Maybe this is a hoard…? :shock:

Well, let's help you out, Kevin!
What's a good day to get those five 30 x 3-1/2 red ones out from under foot?!
Tomorrow? Are you going to the Car Museum Cruise In? If not, I could be there today! (Saturday)

I’m a bit biased… but feel that wires look good on em all. Maybe that’s why all my T’s have em… and my dad’s T’s… :?

The later Avanti II’s had wire wheels… but not a fan! Was thinkin about the special for Avanti Halibrand mags but those weren’t available till ‘64. So I guess ol #388 will continue to motor down the road on the boring wheels and hubcaps she was born with…

Hi Kevin,
As a young boy the Avanti was my first love up until I was ready to buy my first car, then affordable became my first love. I'm pretty sure I would
never find a Avanti for $35 :lol: I'm pretty sure I had every plastic model of the Avanti made @ least twice. I feel kind of bad that a set of Buffalo
wheels with tires is almost as far out of my budget today as that 51 Chevy was when I was 13. Keep in mind the 51 had to be towed home as it
needed the carb overhauled, a battery & water pump. Thanks for the pic it brings back old memories.
Craig.
