The curved top wheel has a stiching in the center, the flat top wheel does not. There are also changes around the area of the steering wheel stalks and paddle positions. I could be that the wheel was photoshopped in - but why would those other items change? Still waiting for the originator to say how it was obtained.

Simple answer. He sat there and took multiple pictures with his phone/camera. Photoshopped one of them. Then uploaded the photoshopped pic and one of the others for comparison. The Reason they’re not exact down to the tiniest shadows but it’s obvious they were both taken at the same time.

Nothing wrong with speculation. But it I'm still waiting to hear from the originator of the images regarding how it was obtained. The "upgraded" wheel is a deluxe wheel with the stitched center and a red stripe, and the joints are in a different place. Was the wheel itself created by modifying a photo, or is the wheel itself something that is available and it was just inserted into the image in place of the original. Or something else?

Funny, bought my '41 coupe a year before I had my driver's license BUT only drove back and forth in our long narrow driveway! BECAUSE to stop kids messing illegally with cars, i.e. the law was if you were caught driving without a license, stealing hub caps etc, it delayed being able to get your drivers license one year. That would have been at18! Stopped messing with cars!

That is also when I did the body mods and rebuilt the Olds engine that replaced the flathead!
