2-4. Jo-Han Eldorado, '74-'78. 2 & 3 are promo/snap kit; 3 is glue kit.

5. 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.

Thanks, all. I'll see if I can nail down which kit that 4-slot wheel is from. The Crazy Horse Pinto F/C and Tuff Truk both seems like good possibilities.

AMT '57 T-bird.

The Eagle wheels re-appeared on the Corvette and VW Zingers.  

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:

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:

'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.

They're also in the AMT custom and competition parts pack that was issued in the AMT/Ertl days in the blue box and the XR6/27 T Pheaton kit.

[Mark]

The parts pack wheels are 4 lug.

Ah, I didn't notice that.

Those "Hand" wheels are also in the MPC 57 Chevy gasser. Same as yours? Not sure!!

[Mark]

The MPC wheels are six-slot Cragars, one of those styles they didn't make very long.

Your right Mark, but they have 8 slots. NOT the same as your wheel above.

Thanks, Steve. Armed with that info, here's the other topic in which the Hands wheels were discussed:

MPC or AMT looks like, but not sure which kit(s):

AMT '65 GTO.  Notice the uneven spacing of the lug nuts.  Those survived the Modified Stocker butchery and were restored to the GTO when Ertl rebuilt it back to stock.  They remained in all issues of the original kit after that.

Thanks, Mark.
