har...har...har Actually, artillery wheels have a downside. As the wood dries out, they start to squeak. I heard a pre WWI Silver Ghost go by one day, low speed on grass, and the loudest sound it made was the wheels squeaking.

The correct fix is to periodically soak them in linseed oil. The cheapskate way is to drive the car into the creek and let it sit for a while. Of course, after soaking in a creek, the wood will soon dry out and squeak worse than ever.
