Standard Models are wood wheel but wire was an option at extra price. Terry's site gives the wheels option for Standard. Rest of models had wires, which I guess is why so few surviving De Vaux's have wood.
Daryl's Fronty Ace has the Motor Wheel Co wood wheels same idea as the 633 Coupe and some Reo's.
Now this is interesting on the 680 brochure on back dated 12-31-31 from De Vaux - Hall Motors, Standard models 19 inch wire wheels and Custom models 17 inch wire. No mention of wood at all. The back of the Continental - De Vaux brochure says Five wire wheels on Standard models. Six on Custom models. Again no mention of wood as an option, yet the aftermarket mentions wood.

This is the 675 De Vaux Standard Coupe those hub caps are on. Perhaps like the various Durant caps D or DURANT across or DURANT on a 45 degree on crest, De Vaux did the same. De across and De Vaux vertical on crest ? De Vaux, Dominion, Durant, Continental were all welded to one another using each others parts. Durant to Chrysler using taillights / headlight lenses. Chevy taillights 28 / 29 on some, Essex door handles on the 70 and 1932 Durant's. So why not De Vaux using Chryslers DeSoto hub caps ? Just tossing it out.
