I think the wheels are harder to identify due to the 'better than new' restoration, they are now polished to a mirror finish, whereas originally they would have been the more familiar dullish mag finish (and rarely even cleaned....let alone polished?)

Jack Sears is still quite active in the Historic Racing scene, having run the Galaxie he drove so succesfully in `63 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed & (I think) in the Goodwood revival earlier this month.
His son David runs a succesful Formula 3 team I think.
