Modlbldr Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 I have some wheels that I need help identifying what kit they are from. Thanks. Later-
ChrisBcritter Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) #1 - Custom wheelcovers from original '61 Impala kit. #3 - AMT '62 Ford Galaxie 500. #4 - '70s AMT Ford full-size pickup. #5 - Maybe AMT '62 Pontiac Bonneville; maybe Jo-Han custom parts. Can you turn them over to see the backs? Edited December 16, 2020 by ChrisBcritter
hedotwo Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 #4 kind of look Ford-ish. At least what I'm looking at... is that a crest in the middle? #5 look like Pontiac 8-lug but I'm not sure they really are. I have a set that came with a 61 Johan Dart, but don't think they may have been stock?
hedotwo Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 Here's one of the four from a 61 Dart rebuilder. May have just added them from a Pontiac kit, but looking at the Johan instructions online it's hard to tell if these were included? It just has pics from the box to go by. Prolly not though.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm sure I'll have many more soon to ID. Later-
ChrisBcritter Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 #6 - Custom wire wheel caps from SMP '61 Corvair. They came with clear red bullets instead of spinners.
Modlbldr Posted December 16, 2020 Author Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Cool. Thanks for the help. Now I'm able to tag them for future reference when I, or someone else, needs them. Later- Edited December 16, 2020 by Modlbldr
Mark Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 #5 are Jo-Han custom wheels, those were in some 1961 and 1962 kits. #2 is from an AMT annual Corvette kit, 1969-77 probably all had them. If #4 fits into an AMT or MPC car tire, it is from an AMT Econoline van kit. The pickup wheel covers were larger, 16-1/2" if I remember right. The tires in those pickup kits may have been shared with 1/32 scale big rigs, I'm not positive about that though.
