"A" with wooden spoke wheels....

[Bob-A]

Anybody else noticed the '30 town sedan on eBay with wooden spoke wheels on it? An unrestored car with what looks like a good set of accessory "Motor-Wheel" made year, not just era, correct wooden spoke wheels. Man, would I like to have them! Car looks in not to bad of shape too. Look up,
1930 Ford Model A, on eBay. You will find it easy enough.

I've not seen those wheels on a Model A before. Pretty cool. Notice the super nice deluxe ORIGINAL interior.

That back seat makes a “handy” place to store your rear fenders when you’re not using them. ;-) [emoji23]

Hmm, add one more set to the known number of Motor Wheel wood wheels. At one time I had 3 sets. I’ve cut back to 1 set of 19” and 1 set of 21”.

Personally dont care for the look. Have never seen them before, but if I wtd a model T, I wood buy a model T.

Is it the one with a cosworth engine?

Wood rots, with bad, sometimes fatal, results. Even if I owned a T, I would put steel wheels on it.

(I would love to have a 26-27 T coupe. It is my favorite pre A design. But I find them impossible to drive, and even more dangerous than an A in modern traffic.)

Yes, the wheels CarlG shows are Aluminum.

.....a bit OT....but those "wooden wheels" are actually hand made aluminum alloy wheels. Here they are freshly cast and machined:

Hmmmmmm, those wood look nice on my Woody.

 

[jbwthree]

I thought those looked custom. They are gorgeous, love to know if someone intends to produce those.
