Extra points if you figure out the acronym.
Amid an ever increasing pandemic, I decided to venture out of the house
today for the local cable company's annual car show.
No Pentax content, I took the Fuji XT-1 and 35mm lens with a polarizing
filter.

I certainly did enjoy a lot of those!
I think my favourite has to be the old Jaguar. Would that be a '55 XK-140?

(I ask because the tyres look a bit odd, and I believe I heard somebody is making
replicas using the old bodywork panelbeating jigs, but mounting the body on more
modern underpinnings)

I assumed it is a replica, as the wheels are so obviously wrong. Considering the price those things go for these days, only a loony would "customise" a real one.

A bit of google fu says the steel wheel xk140s have the same bolt pattern as a 50’s buick with 15” wheels.
To me, those wheels look like they could well be aftermarket mags from the 60’s or 70’s, and could have been put on 50 years ago before the car had achieved it’s current sacrosanct status. If my interest in the car were to drive it rather than just let it appreciate in value in a hermetically sealed garage, I could easily see running those wheels rather than beat up stock steel ones.
Without seeing the interior, or under the bonnet it’s a lot harder to tell for sure whether it’s a replica, or owned by someone who likes cars more than car shaped expensive statues.

So it's the Great Expensive Statue Vehicle Rally? William Lyons would not be very happy.

More than of the cars shown have wheels that don't belong there and,
worse, are way out of period.

Most of the cars that should have correct wheels, like the E-Type and MG, have correct wheels. The survivors, like the old truck, also have correct wheels. The Ford Model A hot rod has 1950s hot rod wheels, which is in keeping with its genre. Cars like the sixty-something Valiant convertible with late model aftermarket wheels are restored mods. They’re not particularly valuable collectibles, just entertainment cruisers.
