Wanted - Original wheels for 1939 LaSalle

[Fred Zwicker #23106]

I am looking for 3 or 4 original wheels for a 1939 LaSalle.  My present wheels are perfect and restored, but are for my radial ply tires. I am in hopes that I can locate another set so that I can mount bias ply tires for show purposes.  If available, please send me an email with dimensions and price.  Thanks,

Fred Zwicker

Fred,
Will 41 model 62's fit?

   Thanks for the reply.  I do not know about the '41 wheels.  The 1939 LaSalle wheels measure about 17-1/2" outside diameter to handle the 16" tires and they are from 5-3/4" to 5/11/16" wide. (5-bolt pattern and clips for the hubcaps).  For reference, I am attaching a picture showing a part of my original Firestone "gum dipped" spare tire and wheel.

In the meantime, I have located  extra wheels, thanks to a very generous friend and CLC member, so am no longer in need of these.

I am looking for the same 16'' wheel for a 40-5019 I'm restoring. I have 3 in decent shape but 1 has heavy damage. Would love to get my hands on a replacement. Needed wheel matches Freds description. I also have 5 wheels that fit same car but are 15'' and wider. Not sure what they originally came off of but if anyone needs, let me know.
