I have a Model A Drake wheel in the original box and was hoping to use it on the car currently under restoration. There is some slag at the mold parting lines that will have to be sanded off. I guess I better check the fit on the steering shaft!
I recall about 20 years back seeing a Drake wheel on somebody's "A" and thought it looked nice for a repop. The owner told me that Drake himself made only one or two manufacturing runs of the wheels and had a number of rejects, with minor flaws. He and some of his club members bought the rejects for a low price, fixed the flaws, and installed them on their own cars. He didn't say what was flawed. This is in Oregon, where Drake is located.
