Over the last few years I have noticed the trend where car builders stuff the biggest wheels possible under classic autos. While I personally like the tasteful look of a good-sized wheel, some people just go nuts by putting on wheels that are just way too big for the vehicle. Classic trucks in particular seem to look ridiculous with huge wheels, but I noticed this great looking truck that was up in Nelson at the Queen City Car Cruise and Show last month. I think this has the perfect stance, and I really love the way the wheel/tire combo fill out the space while still not looking too extreme. This is a great example of how a careful selection of a wheel and tire combo can set the look of a car off!

Do you agree?

There are three easy giveaways to tell the exact year Camaro you are looking at when trying to determine the difference between a 1967, 1968, and a 1969 Camaro. These three years with the most sought after body style for muscle car lovers. While grills and lights can be changed, as well as interiors and engines; these three ways have never let me down.

1. 1967 Camaro is the only Year with the front Quarter Windows

3. 1969 Camaro has the quarter panel fins (just in front of the rear wheels).

This is how I always tell which year is which. Does anyone else know of any subtle differences that they use?
