Model A Wood Wheels
If I had a set of 28-29 Model A wood spoke wheels, would anybody be interested in a set? I currently have a set for my 31 Wagon, see my avatar picture. I may have a line on some 28-29's. The wheels were manufactured by Motor Wheel as an accessory in the late 1920's and 1930's...I have a vintage advertisement I can provide later if you are interested, but these are legitimate accessories. I am in a position to buy a set in the next day or so. I don't mind keeping them for my own use, but I don't own a 28-29 right now, and...I already have a set. Does this interest anyone else?

Dave Known Sets: 1) Mine! 30-31 19" 2) Doug in Eureka, California's set of 28-29. 21" 3) Set in Texas on a 30-31 Wagon 19" (I have pictures of my wagon and the Texas wagon together with wood wheels.) 4) a set sold on EBay 4-5 Years ago. My Dad sold the buyer lug nuts, which are unique to these wheels. Not sure what size they were. 5) for many years I have heard of a Model A Coupe, speculatively a Sport Coupe that also has these wheels. Unfortunately have not personally seen it, so I have no proof. 6) my potential newly discovered set. I will know for certain by Friday. These will be 28-29's, so they won't fit my car...but I already have a set! My Dad bought a set of 5 wood Motor Wheels back in the 60's at Hershey. I grew up with these being part of normal Model A life, but we always stood out from the crowd. The wheels are very unique! Dad knew immediately what the wheels were when he saw them because he remembered seeing the vintage ads because he was an active ad collector. Now it may be your turn to join the few with wood wheels.

Re: Model A Wood Wheels
If someone was producing those in aluminium to look like wood, I would buy a set as I think they look great. Maybe a business in the making.

My Friend, Joe, made a SLOW "U" turn, in his '23 Chev, & one "primo" wood rear wheel became FIREWOOD!
