JonW Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I have a 1949 Olds sedan delivery. As the photo shows, it is green with yellow wheels. Are the yellow wheels correct? I would have thought they would have been either black or body color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NailheadBob Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 That is a sweet looking car! I have a 1950 Oldsmobile master parts book, I will see if listed in the book. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Sometimes the car's body data plate indicates the original wheel color. Red was a common wheel accent color for higher-line GM cars in the 40s and 50s, for all paint colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Why worry about the wheel color? I cannot find evidence that Olds made a sedan delivery in 1949. The narrow white wall did not become readily available until 1961 I like it just the way it is................
