Default Cragar SS

Does anyone know for sure when the "flat spoke" Cragar SS started to be manufactured? Thanks in advance for the info.

There was a Cragar Rep on Facebook today and I asked him if they would consider changing the current SS wheels back to the original more rounded spoke and rim shape. No response...

Not shocked over that one. They would either have to switch manufactures or retool the equipment that makes the spoked part of the wheel. Probably not enough demand versus cost outlay.

The rep replied that he will talk to them about the more rounded spoke and that's a possibility, but the change in the rim curve was highly doubtful.

Why did the change such an iconic item when at least on the spoke design...it couldn't have actually saved them any money...

They should have never stopped making the round spoke in the first place ... BAD MOVE!!
