I have a bunch of 8x11 photos I got from A-C when I was about 12 years old i'm going to be 61 on mon. they are all b&w but really neat I should have some prints made. They range from the 10-18 to the 220. I had wrote a letter to A-C and they sent them to me. I was one happy kid.

Well I've got 2 brochures on the very first 190's and XT's and have looked thru them countless times and never noticed the silver rims with cream centers. After reading this post I looked and by golly they are silver colored!!!! They really don't look bad.

I think Wal-Mart in their photo dept. still copy pics. and slides. I had a pic of my new '69 F 100 which I ordered in a special red color. I took it in, they made a copy 8x11. First time no match at all. No problem, they did another one and it was a perfect match. So I believe if you took the pic. in and help them match the colors you would be satisfied.

I also love these pictures especially since I own a 190XT. My question is, does it appear the front wheel outer rim is silver to match the rears? It’s hard to see as all I can see is a side view but it appears they are silver with the centers being creame? |
There's a 1965 One-Ninety Brochure on eBay (222694623982 If someone again can link to it) that has a real clear photo on the cover showing the silver colored outer rims.

Kudos to you for being inspired to write AC a letter of interest when you were only 12. If you make any copies or scans of them, please pm them to me. Thanks

Wondering if they painted the rims before the center hubs were riveted in. I assume the rims were supplied by a vendor?? I guess I have a few models to repaint the rims on!! LOL
