"A" with wooden spoke wheels....
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. Bob-A |

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

Re: "A" with wooden spoke wheels....
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”.

Re: "A" with wooden spoke wheels....
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.)

Re: "A" with wooden spoke wheels....
I thought those looked custom. They are gorgeous, love to know if someone intends to produce those.
