47 pass car wheel stripes
Can anyone provide info on configuration of wheel stripes for 47 super deluxe coupe? The 41-48 book provides wheel stripe colors but I can't seem to find info about size, exact location, or number of stripes per wheel. Thanks, Steve

Re: 47 pass car wheel stripes
Symsr1044, I checked an original wheel I have and it shows 3 stripes. 1st is 1/16 wide than 1/8 space 2nd stripe is 1/8 wide than another 1/8 space and 3rd stripe 1/16 wide. I put a hubcap on and the first stripe starts 1 inch from edge of hubcap. Hope this helps.

I had an original '48 Ford that was Tucson Tan in color and had orange stripes on the wheels.

Re: 47 pass car wheel stripes

Re: 47 pass car wheel stripes
I remember back in the late 40's there was an old guy always dressed in a
suite that was a retired horse and buggy stripper. He did the wheels with 3 brushes held in one hand and turned the wheel doing all three stippes one time. He would go to the bar every afternoon and get loaded. One day about a block from the bar I saw a couple of ladies looking at someone on the ground about block from the bar, it was old Bill. I stopped and took him home. G.M.

Re: 47 pass car wheel stripes
My black Super Deluxe stripes are white. Pretty sure they are original, but can't guarantee! Spacing is as indicated in posts above.
