Correct - Jo-Han '63-'64 Cadillac. 6. Jo-Han '66-'67 Cadillac - maybe also '65. 7. Jo-Han '61 Cadillac Fleetwood. 8. Jo-Han '58-'59 Cadillac Fleetwood. Last two look like MPC Chevette. Yes, the last two are MPC Chevette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crazy Horse Pinto F/C and Tuff Truk both seems like good possibilities. AMT '57 T-bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were either of them ever molded in green? Just acquired a rear wheel and tire from a vintage Zinger molded in yellow, and the six spoke wheel is a match for the lime green wheel I inquired about earlier: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) I want to say this wheels is from an AMT...Impala, maybe? '63? .625" O.D. at the lip, fit the AMT red/bluewall tires, like so: Screenshot from '63 NHRA Nationals with Dave Strickler's '63 Impala using the same(?) wheel up front for the final round: Edited November 28, 2021 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 '63 Impala annual had Halibrand wheels, similar to those in one of the AMT wheel/tire packs. Those are Hands wheels, I believe those were in one or both of the '63 Corvette annual kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 The MPC wheels are six-slot Cragars, one of those styles they didn't make very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right Mark, but they have 8 slots. NOT the same as your wheel above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
