There were plenty of 14" tired cars from the 1950's and on up to today. The problem comes with the tires from the past 30 or 40 years being too wide for the old wagon rims. My old rock hauling wagon has 14's. They were getting rotten so I started asking around for used car tires at the tire dealers. I did find a set of practically new ones that had been ice picked, for free, but a lot of the ones the dealers had were either too wide or they had those narrow low profile sidewalls that are so cool today. Can you imagine how small an ultra low profile tire is on a 14" rim? On a humerous note, the young man at the store that gave me the tires told me a patch will never hold on a sidewall. I agreed with him but I told him I was going to use tubes. He looked at me with a question mark on his face and asked me what a tube was!!! Any young man who has only worked on car tires probably wouldn't know what a tube is today. Jim
