'Black with Vermillion wheels' ? Not to be picky but I'm seeing yellow wheels.

Remember they are meant to be driven, not hidden. Drive the wheels off it !

Per the Paint and Finish Guide, vermillion wheels were an option (until Sept 1930) on the 1930 Standard, Deluxe and Sport Coupe (45-B, 45-B Deluxe and 50-B), so this car may have originally come with vermillion wheels. But I agree with jb-ob, I'm not seeing vermillion (sort of a red with a hint of orange), I'm seeing more yellow or straw.

Regardless, it looks great. Drive the heck out of it!
