This particular car has wire wheels. Were they an extra cost option offered by the dealership?


Joe, The wheels are almost certainly a modern addition as they were not an option in 1949 nor even available aftermarket to my knowledge and BTW neither was the 6 Volt Delco alternator the car is equipped with. The underside looks great as you mentioned but there do appear to be oil leaks and possibly a differential pinion seal leak so best to have the car looked at before purchasing. You won't be disappointed in the performance or the smooth ride if you buy it.
