I have used this tire cover from Camco, these are made of nice and heavyweight vinyl with a flannel-type backing. They’re holding up nice and protecting our camper’s tires.

It was great to see an actual picture - “simple” indeed. We’re mocking it up using the four panel design, pending receipt of the Benson drawing next week. I really appreciate everyone’s help as I chase the details. That Sorinson book is wonderful

The picture showing the spare tire cover for 1938 is exactly like the one I mentioned earlier in this thread. Ken

I asked my upholsterer why the 4 panel construction would have been used on the “simple canvas cover” in 1938 - the answer was pure Henry Ford, “less wasted material”.

While awaiting drawings from Benson, I received Lorin Sorensin’s book, “Famous Ford Woodies”. Mike, note second inner stainless ring shown on 39 deluxe cover below. Stitching pattern (4 panel) on 38 design is something I had not imagined
