Hi Guys! I made it! Other than a "reaction" to sedation which caused a 1 night stay in the hospital.. I'm on the road to recovery!

Randy, I prefer my beer to be ingested orally!

I still feel as tho' I've been whipped like a gov't mule but a huge improvement from last week, once all this swelling goes down I should feel like a young buck again!

"Interesting" wheels Bobby... I am unsure of "the look" but it will be different and depending on the tires.. could be appealing. When you're ready, I'll take a couple Oxycodone with a couple Valium and we'll float down the street together!

[Dave Severson]

Good find Bobby!!!!! Friend of mine has a similar wheel on his Merc (my old 'glass one with the SBF), he did the wheels up body color, added some stainless trim rings and baby moon caps!!!! They look better on the car then any high dollar one-off aluminum wheel could ever look!!!!!!!!!

Can't help much on the "Kelsey Canada" stamping-- Where the heck was the Kelsey-Hayes plant at? Maybe they had some of their wheels made up in Canada? Certainly wouldn't be the first company that had parts built there, heck, most of my exhaust tubing is Canadian built and great quality!!!!

[34_40]

Just thinking about this Bobby and all the metal I buy up this way has that same style lettering, that is CA NA DA, they're probably the largest of the imported steel manufacturers at least up this way! Maybe Kelsey used their steel for these rims?

The Kelsey Hayes company was originally formed as the Kelsey Wheel Company - found this info in one of the Wiki links... Probably means your wheels were pre-'27?

The property is the site of the former Kelsey Hayes plant which was founded by Detroiter John Kelsey in 1913 at the request of Henry Ford. The Kelsey Wheel company initially made wooden wheels for Ford and other automakers but later produced wire wheels and auto bodies. The original factory occupied only that portion of the present site located to the west of Mercer Street (Windsor, Ontario). In 1927 Kelsey Wheel merged with Hayes Wheel to form Kelsey Hayes. It was the first company to be unionized by the U.A.W. in Canada after a strike in 1936.
