Title: 68-69 Styled Steel Wheel Date Codes
Post by: bpmdu on May 30, 2023, 06:21:33 PM

Do the date stamps on the styled wheel match other similar date stamp formats? I took the spare out of my 69 Mach 1 and see it's stamped 9MA - would this be December 1969? The tire on it is raised white letter Polyglas with size dated early 1970 so I'm trying to figure out of if the rim is original to the car or not. Thanks

The M in the middle stands for Motor Wheel, as far as I've heard.

Your code means January 1969.

Thanks all, was a bit concerned due to the tire but the date stamp would be accurate for my car.
