Wheel Covers !! KKOA Score

[TagMan]

I admit it....I'm a wheel cover whore.
I couldn't resist these 15" covers that Frank & Carol had at the Gettysburg KKOA show last weekend (which, btw, was a killer show, regardless of the rant made on another thread). The centers were black with a generic coat of arms. I removed the center hubs, chucked them up on my lathe and drilled a 3/16" hole to accomodate a set of bullets I had laying around. Frank told me they had been hanging in a guy's garage since the early 60's. Whadda ya think? Anybody recognize 'em? I'm pretty sure they were an aftermarket cap, but maybe not.

Thanks, yorqatron, I appreciate your comments. The covers do look good - at least I think they do. I've made a few changes on the '55 since I posted a pic a while ago. I'll take a pic and post it for critique. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Cool. They look kinda like a cross between a Lancer and a Chevy SS cover.

Yep! How about a shot with more car attached to 'em?

No, definitely NOT '55 Buick. The covers pictured above are on my '55 Buick and I still have the originals.

I'm 99.9% positive that these are an after market cover.


Cleatus, I'll try & get some pics of the whole car this weekend......if it ever stops $#%&! raining !!
