- Take off the fender skirt.
- Deflate the tire. My guess is someone put ill-fitting radials on it that are a fair amount too wide. What is the tire size as indicated on the sidewall?

I did take off the skirt, before I did anything else. It has the correct size tires, based upon Factory spec, which is 7.60 x 15, made by Coker Tire.

Are your stands under the frame or axle? On my 53 I need to jack from.the frame so the axle is low enough to get the tires off.

If you did jack from the frame do you see anything pulled tight such as a brake hose or emergency brake cable that could be preventing a drop? Since the issue is on the left side how about the 5th shock/horizontal stabilizer. Could that be a repro or repaired unit that possibly doesn't have enough travel.

Well, traditionally, I've always put them under the axle, but I've never had a car with fender skirts on it, so I didn't even think about putting the stands under the frame itself. I will try that in the morning.
Thank you!

I read your question several times as the answers so far didn't seem to match what you were asking. You said you couldn't get the wheel off the hub (paraphrasing) which has nothing to do with clearance so if it's simply stuck to the drum, pull harder or tap the back side of the outer edge of rim with a mallet or even a hammer to break it free. These do sometimes stick. If I've misunderstood and it is already loose, then it should come out following the pointers given.
