Driving my '28 Chevrolet down a main street in San Jose, California - about 1963 or so, I was amazed to see a wheel rolling past me on the sidewalk, which looked just like the Discs wheels on my '28 Chevy -even the same color !

Remarkably, my Chevy kept on driving down the road without any serious mishap, until I was able to pull over, stop, and retrieve the errant run-a-way.

Some things you CAN temporarily fix with a 'band-aid', somethings you can not. Luckily for us, the older the car the easier the 'tape, wire, and pliers' tool kit will work.
