Re: Why the 16 inch wheels?
I was born in 1934. As I grew up, I was always interested in cars. Old cars, new cars, it didn't matter. In my teen years, a lot of the Model A's on the road were running 6:00X16 tires. To me, a Model A with 16's looks more capable, more like a real car. I have two A's: a roadster running 6:5016's with wide whitewalls, and a coupe running 19" blackwalls. The coupe looks ten years older, and sometimes that's good. The roadster has an overdrive and more horsepower. It feels much better at speed. To each his own.
