What Was the Standard Wheel Diameter for '65 Signet Convertible?

No, I bought it late in the year (65) or January, 66. The dealer (I think is now called Dadeland Dodge and Chrysler) had the car for several months after the sale fell through because of the 4 speed and Commando engine. A young guy (rich kid) got it for his graduation from high school (June 65) to drive to college. (UAF) He put a thousand miles or so on it and brought it back and traded it for a slant 6 automatic. He told the dealer he didn't like driving the 4 speed in traffic, it used too much gas and most of all it was too (resonator) loud. The black in the picture must be from the negative, or a shadow. It had no black paint on it. I owned it clear up until 1975, until in a fit of anger, traded it in on a new Chevy step side. (Stupid!) I've searched for it (I have the VIN Number also) for many years without luck.

OK, you mean you bought it then, not that it was built then. My working theory now is that only 13 inchers were available early in the production year, with 14's available later - initially as standard in the Formula S package, which was announced in November of 64, and then optionally in non-S cars - when??

BTW, here's what the Barracuda's front valence looks like when the inset portion is NOT blacked out:
