I happily stand corrected, thanks. Somehow in the back of my mind I was convinced whitewalls were not commonly available until the mid-30s.

Mike,


don't worry about wheel colours, it's a very nice car.


Attached is a photograph of my Margarethe, regarding colours close to yours. If i were you, what i would think about is wether you can add a coachline in the colour of the wheels and, with high priority, get rid of the indicators in the bumper and put yellow indicator lights into the cowllights. I think that looks a lot better...

White wall tires were available when the Model A was new, however they had whitewalls on both sides of the tires. When Model As left the factory they all had black wall tires.
