So I have a set of 5 Sabre wheels which I recently bought for my 1955 Cadillac.  According to the part number they are 1955 dated as they all have the number 38612.  The strange thing about them is they appear to be the "clad" style that started with the 1956 series of Sabre wheels.  Is it possible that I have a set of late 1955 or early 1956 Sabre wheels?

Hello Tim,

I think it is possible for the '56 model year wheels to be manufactured in calendar year '55.  Some parts castings have date/time/shift info cast into the part.  I don't know if this is so for the Sabres.
