'32 Vicky spare tire

[misterNNL]

As always there is a wealth of info available to any builder on this forum just for the asking.

I don't know if you saw this period shot during your googling, but it clearly shows a hard spare-tire cover, when the car was new.

A restored car with a similar cover...

I don't know if it was a Ford option, an aftermarket part, or a trim-level inclusion (some '34 Deluxe models did apparently come with hard spare tire covers).

I think this dealer brochure image of the '32 Ford Deluxe (3-window) Coupe indicates that any spare tire cover was an option, not standard equipment for 1932--note the bare spare tire out back!

OK, well I'm working on another Vicky now (screwed up the first one pretty bad), and I think I'll be using the wheel cover "as is", so thanks a ton for all the input, I appreciate it immensely.
