Weasel1984 ◊ 2015-01-16 16:14	So they delayed the change of wheels for one year I guess? In our 1979 car magazine is picture of 120 LS with new wheels and it is written they'll be new for 1980 MY. Worth to note, that this car (I mean the one in movie) still has chromed finition of the headlights, when in the 2nd, blue 120 GLS it is already black: /vehicle_776244-Skoda-120-Typ-742-1981.html -- Last edit: 2015-01-16 16:16:39
sergej ◊ 2015-01-16 16:23	first, in september 1979 (model year 1980) were metal hubcaps replaced with the small black from plastic (still on 14" wheels) and the next model year 1981, since september 1980, they were replaced with the 13" wheels. It is possible, that 13" wheels were planned for 1980 m.y., but there was some delay (as usually) and so only the hubcaps were new this year.
