    Nice looking Comet. The chrome traction bars really set it off. Makes a big difference. Same thing I have on my Comet.....

    Thats a great looking Comet. A regular Rip Van Winkle story! The Keystones are a keeper. I wouldnt use anything as abrasive as brillo, paint them with naval jelly to dissolve the rust. Rub em out then polish with Noxon. The back wheels look like keystone classics , but them front ones are a bit more special. I think they are Keystone Kustomags from the mid 60's. They might even be worth some money. Man I love nostalgic wheels! Good luck with the ride!
