Early wheels were retained by lug bolts and the hub and had a locating pin that registered with the hole in the rim. Lindsay

Would that be correct for a 71? This wheel was from a 71 New Yorker.

I have 5 of these wheels and it's the only one that has the hole
There was nothing on the car, rotor or drum-wise that involved that hole. I cant remember if it was involved with the jack storage or something similar....maybe i can find the storage instructions. The car had full wheel covers but not a heavy style, so they weren't involved with that locator hole either.

Looks like some E-Body space savers had it
My old 71 newport had one hole in one of the wheels.
My 73 imperial spare does not have the hole.

Guessing it's a spare and hole is to mount the jack,or secure the wheel in the trunk

Agree with that. What are the stamped date codes by the valve stem?

My 4 matching wheels are made by Motor Wheel with 7 digit part number. The 5th wheel with hole is Kelsey Hayes. I'll get pics of stampings.

In looking for a wheel for my 69 I found that the 69s didn't have the hold but the 70s did on the same wheel (by part number)
