The landau irons were found at a swap meet and he didn't know what kind of car they came from. The wheels are "artillery" wheels, the centers are obviously Model A wheels that have been cut down. He made a few sets of these wheels. Also the trunk on this car is a hand fabricated copy of the period accessory Kary-Keen trunk. He made copies of both the 28-29 and 30-31 versions of the trunk. There are at least six that I remember him making.
