My dad lost the right rear wheel on his Model A ford when he was a young guy. Took one lugnut off each remaining wheel and put the wheel back on. Then, just for kicks, he walked half a mile back the road and picked up 4 of the 5 lost nuts.

One of my scariest encounters, was driving the roadway, and a trailer axle and wheel came rolling across the three lane road. It was a quick call, either speed up or slow down. Very unpredictable movement. I got by.

Well I lived in Philadelphia at the time. My first K Ghia was a '64 convertible that I bought from a guy that just broke down with it. $15 for the car, $55 for the parts to rebuild the engine. Fun to drive, but no heat as the heat ducts were rusted out. Drove it for about two years.
Second K Ghia was a '70 that was my brother's and was hit while parked in front of his house. That car was involved in 7 accidents and was parked all times when hit. Last hit was when it was parked up the street from my house. I took that as an omen to sell it.
Great story.
You remind me that my wheel fell off too, just as the rear of my car cleared the sidewalk. I put it in the trunk before I left.
I wish I knew a race car builder.
Wow. Model A. That must have been before the invention of the lug wrench.
Nope. But thankfully not like the 28 Chevy with demountable rims - and split rims at that. Those were more than a P.I.T.A. to change!!!!
