The wheel covers on my '56 have squeaked since I bought the car in the early
'70s. The reason I know that is because I nearly always drove it with the
windows down. That is the way I think that the Southampton Four Door Hardtop
looks the best. Back when I still had the gas heater, I even drove it that way
in the dead of winter if the sky was clear. That heater would raise the
temperature of the air OUTSIDE the car.
That car has never had radial tires on it, so I doubt that will necessarily
cause this problem.
