I can't post in the Tech Archive, so putting it here:


39-40 Lincoln

These particular wheels are now known to be an aftermarket one that, although looking like early '40s Lincoln wheels, and fitting the Lincoln hubcaps, were designed to bolt straight on to '28-'35 Ford wire wheel-type hubs. The wheel centre around the spindle is raised to seat on the five nubs found on the wire-wheel hubs, and enabled owners of the early cars to update their looks, and also allowed use of the probably easier to find around the war years, 16" tyres.

The one in the picture is probably a Kelsey Hayes one, either 16" x 4" or 4-1/2", but similar ones may also have been made by other manufacturers.
