Back in the day Cragar and Keystone were separate entities. Cragar had the SS and Keystone the Klassics. Cragar must have absorbed Keystone at some point years ago.

I've got a set, I'll try and get some pictures posted. Mine have a gold center that I've never seen on any other car.

The Keystone look is similar enough to the Buick rims that it works well.

I ran Keystones in the late 60s. I remember two two types --the chromes and blacked out style. The center caps on the chromes contained a scripted K. They were separate from Cragar back then. I have not seen any in a long, long time.

Way back in da day the Cragars were everywhere . But the Keystones always stood out from the crowd , and i like that !

The guys with less dough went with black rims and baby moons . Chrome reverse wheels were next in order .

Oh , the good ole days ... Gas 35 cents a gallon , smokes were 35 cents , 5 hamburgers at Mickey D's were a buck !!

Hi Jacker air shocks , cherry bombs and thrush mufflers ..

32 cents/gallon although during gas wars I saw some 10 cents/gallon. The nice thing about it was you could look at it first up on top of the tank in the fish bowl.
