We've been cleaning our shop up for our open house (www.taylorstreetrods.com) and stumbled on this box of NOS "Shore-Calnevar, Inc." caps. They are brand new! The box has a #VK-14 on it. We were wondering where they were from? Were they something you could order from the back of a magazine or catalog? Thanks!
Are they 14"? If they are,you don't want those cluttering up your shop. I'll gladly take them off your hands
'61-2 J C Whitney catalog... "3 and 4 prop with bullet center"...various sizes like yours and with 4 vanes on same basic cap. $37.75 for 4, waaay upscale in the hubcap pages! I think these are pure aftermarket styling and not copies of an OEM cap, as most of those are identified as "Fiesta", "Star Fire", "Lancer", etc. At a glance, I think those may be the most expensive caps in the catalog!
Thanks Bruce!! I knew someone on the HAMB would have all the info!! We found a bunch of other cool stuff while cleaning. Pictures posted here: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=366464 But the hubcaps were the top find!!
Those are hard to find in used condition let alone new old stock, they came in either the 3 bar like yours and a 4 bar they also came in 15" They're really popular in the lowrider bomb crowd and fetch a pretty penny they're also known as Vikings. Oh by the way would you be interested in selling or trading them ?
