Tell them it is an English Ford, a larger version of the Anglia! Or you could
buy a set of those phoney wire wheel hubcaps. They look hokey, but they won't
say "Ford"

I have a 59 Minx convertable that came from DPO with 14" Ford rims (as well
as
original). With 205 X 75 radials it makes a world of difference. I can try
to
find out what they came from, but there is one major problem: what do you say
to
people who ask "when did Ford make a car called a Minx?". The hubcaps say
Ford,
not Mustang or Pinto or anthing else.
They make a world of difference to the Minx and might make an Alpine fell
better
also.
