Hi Dick,

We took that information about the La Comtessa from "The Standard Catalog of
Chrysler 1924 - 1990" by John Lee.  If you look at the second picture of the
car, you will notice that these are definitely the Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels
and since this was a one off car, the wire wheels could NOT have been a
dealer added option or an owner change, but one added by Chrysler
themselves.  So, I guess the mystery continues...
