Here is the original photo location, though you have to hunt

1. The spring covers are painted the fender color and have no spring covers.

2. The disks on the wheels are just disks over wires and are not chrome plated disk wheels (a true disk wheel would be a more late 32 -33 plus 34 V-12 thing as far as I am aware). You can see they are wheel disk covers via the sidemounts and they have slots for the retaining straps.

3. The convertible top is really stunning

I don't know 31-32 that well, are the wheel disks in the list of 31-32 accessories as the 34-36 are? Also note the spring covers are not painted. Strange there is no trunk mounted.

Note: Those are actually wheel disk covers (over I assume wire wheels) and not chrome plated disk wheels
