The Ford Barn

I'm hoping someone can tell me:
1. What was the size of the stock rim on a 41 Zephyr
2. What was the gear ratio in the rearend

If no one here in the Barn has the info. can you point me to a site that would?

thanks

Not exactly for sure on the 41 rims but the ones on my 39 are 16x4.5 . Its a good chance that the gear ratio is going to be 4.44 .

I think the 39 & 40 rims were 16 X 4.5 , but in 41 it was increased to 16 X 5.

Our '39 LZ has 16x4.5 rims and a 4.44 rear. I have a set of four Lincoln 15" rims (that were on the LZ when we got it) I think Lincoln & Continental went to 15" rims in '42 or '46.
