I've read that when people started collecting and restoring Model A's in significant numbers back in the '50s, 19 and 21 inch tires were not being manufactured any longer. Restorers had no choice but to put the 16" wheels from a '35 on their A's as the lug pattern matched and 16" tires were available. I don't know when 19 and 21 inch tires started to be reproduced, but thank goodness they were, as imo, A's look terrible with the smaller wheels.
