Default Re: Wood front wheel fellows on a 1919 Ford?

Demountable wheels were first available in 1919 if your Model T had generator, battery and starter. Regular Model T's without the fancy electrical gizmos came with non - demountable wheels as always.

This continued until 1926 - you had to pay extra to get demountable wheels. In 1927 Ford made the electrical equipment standard on Model T's, but TT trucks could still be purchased either way.

The Ford supplied demountable wheels had steel felloes, so they are not relevant to the current discussion.
