1969 W-32 Mandatory Option

P37 - F60x15 tire on 7” wide Super Stock wheel.

The Hurst/Olds wheel and tire combination was going to be installed on 442’s with the W-32 option?

Similar to the 1970 model year option that was cancelled in August 1969: G60x15 tires with 15x7 SS-2 wheels.

I used to have several W32 bulletins, with the original showing W42 being standard. They are currently MIA and this is the only one I have. I can't say with certainty whether this was it or there was an update after this.

It it was human, that car looks like its eyes were placed below its nose when it was born. The placing of the badge screws up everything else.

Many police vehicles also use a slanted stripe as part of the identifying emblem or graphics.

It is also used with ‘ghost’ graphics on stealth police vehicles, which are intentionally designed so not to be seen or identifiable. So why use them and waste taxpayers dollars?
