Wheel date codes
« on: December 21, 2015, 09:22:21 AM »
I have a question on the date coding of wheels. For instance: 6MC.  Would that be 1966 December third week, or would it be 1966 Motorwheel March? Thanks!

The M in the example is the manufacture - one of a number used by Ford during that period
