JW, thanks for that photo - a lovely looking junior Packard. The so-called "artillery wheels" on the juniors were of course not true wood spoke wheels but all steel embossed steel wheels in the style of a traditional artillery wheel, and I'll enclose another picture of one. They are uncommon and go for high prices to those who want them. I believe (someone will correct me if I'm wrong) that 1937 was the last year they were offered on the juniors; the last year for true wood artillery wheels on the senior cars was 1936.
