Title: 1928 4 Door Sedan Spokes Painted or Not
Post by: DENNISKS on October 15, 2006, 05:05:02 PM
I recently received a 1928 Plymouth 4 Door Sedan from my father. THe car is 98% origional with the exception of the paint. I am going to repaint it back to the origional color. My question is the spokes on this car are natural. I have seen several cars with painted spokes and several cars with natural spokes. Which is correct or was natural spokes and option? The car shows no signs of the spokes ever have being painted. I have a lot to learn about this car and any help will be greatly appreciated.

The spokes on mine are natural, but I bought the car that way. I am not sure if it is correct or not, but I like the way it looks.

:)In 1928 the correct way was to be painted the body color. However, many of the Plymouth Q owners have stained and varnished the spokes because it does look nice. In the past I don't recall points being taken off for natural finished spokes. If you were to have it judged and it did come down to a tie with another car and that is the only thing they could find, then the painted spokes would win over natural. I do have this info available from Chrysler literature if you want a copy. Please send me an email.
