1948 Henney hearse wheels needed
Posted by 48 Henney On 2024/7/5 15:29:50
I am currently working on resurrecting a '48 Custom Eight Henney hearse and am in need of 4 correct 16" wheels.
The car was rescued from a junkyard 40 years ago by a longtime friend and was missing wheels and tires. They found some 15"Jeep wheels with the larger center holes and 5 x 5.5" bolt pattern in the yard to drive it out of there, but they are in rough shape and look wrong. The hearse wheels don't interchange with production Packards. Have noticed that most of the hard luck survivors I've found pics of on the internet are also missing the original wheels. Not sure why. Anyone have some salvagable wheels around, maybe left over from a resto-mod project? Thanks.
