The wheels are gone. I bought one and matched it up with the ones on my car and they were identical.

The seller listed them as follows

Kelsey Hayes 17 IN 5X6 4 IN BEAD 5 1/4 WIDTH Fit 1933 Stud pres 92 Buick 32, Pierce 1933 34 35 36 37 and Nash 34.

Another bit of tribal knowledge we can add.

Just be sure you get a picture and the dimensions before purchase.

David,

Thanks for the info. Can you help me? I don’t know what you mean by “small bead””.

I have found 4 wheels and was checking to see if anyone needed them.”

David,

Thank you. I was just checking to see if I missed something. I guess I will have to tell my wife to pack light.

Anyone need any 17″ wire wheels with 4″” bead width? Base on the above should fit ’33-37 8’s and light 12’s”

I don’t know if this has any parts in common.

He had it original listed as a ’33. Below is his answer to me when I mentioned it. This is the first I have ever heard about the foot down vs sideways issue. Maybe the foot down one has the arrow up?

“Hello and thanks so much for pointing out my error. I quickly looked in my mascot book and mistakenly listed it as a 1933 piece. Looking again I see you are quite correct. The piece I have in the auction has the foot turned sideways. There was also a version with the foot pointing down.

Thanks again. I will add this information to the listing.””

I used John Wolf, http://johnwolfco.com/, years ago and his work was great. I haven’t seen him mentioned here and I can’t speak for his recent work. I stopped in to see him in Willoughby, Ohio about 2 years ago and he is next to a restoration shop. They had an impressive Stutz DV-32 in the shop at the time.

John has patterns for numerous faces he can reproduce. He also has shelf after shelf with boxes and boxes of gauges. A call to him might give you some options. He has some really great capabilities.

Yep, mine is missing the wings. Thank you for your time and help.

Here are the cut out steps.

This is probably a waste of time, but that is what I nave until find the real things. That or plastic.

Greg,

The other lenses are all larger in diameter, so I epoxy them to a board and cut them out with a diamond hole saw in my drill press. The center one is cut out of a Lynx eye T-359 Stop/Taillight lens for a ’34-36 Dodge.

All but the center one are pretty thick and need some modification, again with diamond tools, to be able to install them in the rims and with the reflectors.

The lens on the Right is original PA

I use 32 Ford Cowl light lens retaining clips, which are stainless, I think, to hold them in. The Lens for the Cowl light fits in the Pierce rims.

Greg,

I think you are right. I took the bracket apart and it is a little unequal in dimension.

The curved lens is the same width and has a similar curve as a 1928 Ford Model A Drum tail light. It is slightly shorter and is glass. When installed with a cork gasket, I think it is passable, particularly if the license is below the light. I relieve the edges some with diamond bits, so it fits in the opening better. The one on the left is an original PA lens

Greg,

Thanks for the info on the bracket. I have a picture of mine below. It doesn’t look like something broke off either side. They just look like they were made short, Mid year modification?

On the lenses, none of the lenses, including the curved license glass, in the photo are from a Pierce. They are ones that I have fabricated out of other glass lenses until I can find real ones.

another picture attempt

Greg,

Great pics, very , very helpful. Thank you for your time.

Looks like the ’24-29 are smaller. The part numbers for the lenses in your bottom picture appear to be, below (I used the PA part# and description and guessed that the backing light is the white one).

White (Backing light non California)750985, CA 750992. and I thought the California only spec was a new thing.

Flat Red/dot tail light 750972

Ribbed red Stop light 750992 (same as CA Backing)

Since I am coming very late to this parts finding party, below is what I have assembled for my ’33. It has the oval backing plate but the casting doesn’t have the “ears””.

The license bracket mounts over the light assemble on the top of the casting and kind of works like the top mount of an easel

Greg,

Man you go above the call of duty. My thinking is there may be some lenses out there that fit Pierces but if the people don’t know it, then they list it as a Duesenburg or some other car, like the one just on ebay. One on my lenses has Stimsonite on it, so I look for Stimsonite lens.

I was also wondering what the size difference in the clear fluted lens was for a Type A vs. an Aerolite one.
