Body-color wire-spoke wheels feature brown rims and bright hubcaps, and they are mounted with 6.50–19 Universal bias-ply tires. A matching spare wheel topped with a mirror is mounted in the left fender. The car rides on a 119″ wheelbase and features fully elliptical leaf springs at all four corners as well as rear coil springs. Stopping power is provided by hydraulic drums at all four corners. The front brake cylinders were rebuilt by White Post Restorations of Virginia in 2019, and the brake shoes were also relined.
