Natural spoke wheels

[Lowell Fast]

What was the last year for the Natural spoke wheels ?

Untill about 1925 or 1926 no Ford had natural spoke wheels. About 1925 or 26 natural spoke wheels were a dealer installed option.

I did not state my question clearly . I was wondering when the Natural Finished spoke wheel ended and the black painted spokes started .

Ok I think I know what you are asking. ALL Ford wood wheels were assembled then painted or dipped in a paint vat and spun. So the only part that did not get coated with paint was between spokes at and behind the hub plates and maybe the little bit were the tenon passed thru the fellow.

Just to be sure; NO Ford was shipped from the factory with un painted wheels.

Thanks. It seems all the brass Ts have seen had the black paint removed from the wooden spokes .

Natural finished spoked wheels is a personal preference on any T except as Mark stated above - dealer option in late 1925.
