Guest danajohnson Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Just got this photo spruced up from an old photo of my great grandpa. Looks to me that the car is a 32 Cad. But not sure of model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 With rare Budd wheels no less!Those look like General Jumbo wheels, to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Old48Truck Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I dunno , but the model appears to be a boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Henderson Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 While it is possible they were made in other sizes, General Jumbo wheels usually were 14" aftermarket wheels for conversion to baloon tires. The wheels on the Studebaker look to be 17", a conventional size for 1932 cars, and the tires don't appear to be baloons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleek Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 The General Jumbo wheels are only 9 spoke, the wheels on the Studebaker are 10 spoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlLaFong Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Those are the optional factory wheels offered by Stude. There is a write up in Hemmings Classic Cars, a few issues back, of a coupe with the same wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) So the car is a Studebaker, the model is a boat and the cad is dear old grandpa. Glad we cleared that up. Edited May 29, 2014 by Rusty_OToole (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
