John, you wrote "...the slotted Speedlines (or 'wineglass' pattern wheels)
of the Milano Platinums and late GTV 6s...".  I own an unaltered '87 Milano
Verde, which has those same wineglass wheels, as do at least two or three
other '87 Verdes that I have seen.  Unless I am mistaken (entirely
possible), I believe that the early Verdes came with the Wineglass wheels
from Italy.

Of course, you are the leading expert in these matters and if you have some
definitive answer about this, then I'd like to know why there are some
apparently otherwise unaltered Verdes with those wheels.  Did early Verde
owners exchange the 'phone-dials' for 'wineglasses' for some strange reason?

I like your idea about a 'blacked-out' Milano.  I have owned a few very
black cars.  Although very hard to keep clean, they sure do look "sinister"!
