Re: '38 Senior wheel color

I don't pretend to know much about prewar styling details but the 38 Super Eight and Twelve fact book show and describe the Deluxe or banjo wheel as ivory and was a $15 accessory. The standard wheel thruout the years was usually a painted hard rubber composition material of various colors. Until 54 standard wheels were mostly in brown and black shades although I believe some 41-7 Clippers also had a lighter color.

In the custom car section of the 38 fact book it states the owner could order special color and upholstery combinations so possibly your banjo wheel in a reddish color is a custom wheel. Is your wheel the same translucent plastic or Tenite material as used on the Deluxe Ivory wheels?
