ToddJ Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I’ve had these 2 tires in dry storage for many years. I was always told these were my grandfather’s Model A tires but I’m really not sure. I would like to identify them and also find a good home for them. Can anyone provide info, possible place to sell and possible market value? Thank you in advance for any help!

keiser31 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Not Model A wheels. Model A tire sizes were 21" in 1928-29 and 19" in 1930-31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Many makes used 20 inch wheels in the late 1920s. The five rim bolts should narrow the field of possibilities down a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Even if the size was right it wouldn't be a Model A as it is a wood spoke wheel while all Model As were wire wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Have some Buick or maybe Olds guys take a look. Mid to late 1920s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caddyshack Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Tires that old and cracked have little value, other than period correct for display purposes. Tires that old are not safe for any road application. I would list for "best offer" and hope for a taker. Good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Several lower price cars used that size wheel and tyre - eg Pontiac and Plymouth - and no doubt some more less well known makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans1 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 1927 Essex front wheels used both 21 and 20 inch tires. 12 spoke 8 hub flange bolts the view of wheel with center hole, view is of inside or brake drum side of wheel. Essex used no front wheel brake drum, and I do not see brake drum mounting marks Jackson wheel rim retainers used under lug nuts. Therefor I suggest Essex 1927 ESSEX FRONT WHEELS second series, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
