Can anyone spot a significant difference? The genuine Speedsters have bolted tie-bars on the wheel snap rings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 That is a very good safety feature to keep the lock ring from flexing and popping off during driving and most likely at speed which these "Classic Sports Cars" are capable of.

Kean Thompson Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 That is correct. The 1929 and 1930 speedsters have a small safety cleat on the lock rings. That took a discerning eye but if you look at the fenders, the Young car, now in the museum, has 626 fenders. The red car has 633 or 640 fenders with a bead line around the the outer edge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
