Hello Mal

Yes, that's the same wheel alright. What is it off?

The wheel covers on my Clipper look to be original and clip on around the rim. Guess that wheel was the same, judging by the marks on the rim paint.

Sounds like I was misinformed about the origin of the steel wheels on my car.

My steel wheels and covers are actually in pretty good condition.

Maybe Packard continued to fit these standard steel wheels to some of the V8 models in 1955/56, but with no locating pegs on the hubs/drums. Junior cars only, perhaps?

Cheers

Brian
