My early 67 Chevelle never has had the spare off the rim, although it is worn and totally unsafe. When stripping the original wheels I decided to pirate one of the extra rims with mounted 1967-vintage snow tires. All the wheels were Kelsy-Canada from November 66 except for the dealer-installed snows which had Kelsy-Canada rims from January 67. My car was build December 66, used as a demo at Wills Motors then sold to my aunt in March 67. Puny but correct 14x5 rims.

Ahh, remember when we actually made stuff here! Thats likely to be a wheel made with Hamilton (maybe Dofasco) steel. Kelsey Hayes Canada was a very big customer of Dofasco and Stelco. It was one of my fathers main customers during his career as a customer service rep for Dofasco 1969-92.
I remember him coming home regularly with a trunk full of different unfinished wheels going for testing. And some were even the Magnum 500 style. Knowing I loved cars, he was always excited to show me the nicer ones.
And at least twice he was able to "Procure" a set of winter Kelsey wheels for moms snows on the back.
