1960 Mercury Park Lane conv - wire wheels an option ?

[gtx6970]

Can anyone confirm if the Park Lane conv was avail with the wire wheels same as on the Thunderbird ?

 

Ive seen wires on the 1960 Ford Sunliner but cant find if they were avail on the Mercury ,, or not !

I don’t think I’ve ever seen wires on a ‘60 Merc, but of course, I’m no expert.

Wires seem to have been fairly common and popular, (at least on restored vehicles) with Mopar, Cadillac, and some Buicks, but I don’t recall them being a particularly big thing with Ford, except for some wire wheel covers on some models over the years.

Thanks sir

 

I know of a 1960 Ford Sunliner with wires. But no idea if they were factory or not

 

Ill be doing a 1960 Mercury convertible next.

And am thinking wire wheels from the 62 Tbird kit would look good on it.

Why not use them? IMO they would look Kool on any year Mercury

Thanks. THATS a good looking car 

 

I'm thinking to replicate this particular car . Only with the wire wheels and whitewall tires from the 62 Thunderbird kit like my Sunliner build has
