Features Lyon Hubcaps

Fred Cain ran Lyon covers on his 40 coupe in 1952 if not before.

 

I got this set off eBay for $19 about 7 seven years ago.

 

I believe this imitation wire wheel cap by Lyon was produced in the early 50's...

 

Ok, you inspired me to buy my newest pair of Lyons hub caps. Lol! They are so tacky but still kool, I'm trying hard to bring back fake wires.... .

 

So bad it's goood..

 

I have a pair on my shoebox

 

have you guys ever seen these?

 

That sure looks like a Buick crest to me.

 

This is the crest on my Buick Just saying it's maybe a fake crest.... I bought Cadillac sombreros with only five rings atop of the crown

Glendale, saw those on ebay. Don't think those are Lyons, the crest is different and is removeable.

 

Look like a set of made by a company called Calnevar. They were available with different crest centers.

 

I have 4 of these they say Lyons on them can you tell me what goes in the middle of these. They arent too bad some curb rash

 

You put those caps over the top of dogdish caps

 

I recently grabbed a set from a buddy. I have wanted them for my car forever. They snapped in nice and firm, but does anyone know what the chances are of these things flying off? The Chromesides I had on before were so tight it never crossed my mind.

 

I curious, what's the diameter of the hole in the center of the caps? Trying to imagine what center cap would fit in there? Looks kinda small.

 

They are about 4 to 5 inches in the center. Ill will measure the center next time iam down at the shop.

 

They have 5 inch centers.

 

that's a small opening to have a have a dog dish style cap fit in there. Even a Ford V8 cap as small as it is fits in a 5 3/5" hole.

I wonder if yours originally came with a center that you could swap to another style?

They'd be great to run on the back of a car running skirts where you can't see the center anyway.

 

The opening in the cap fits over the top of the dogdish cap so the dogdish cap is under this cap ive seen a set over the top of a shoebox ford cap wish i had a picture

 

I am in need of a 15" lyon hub cap like the one below. any leads would be greatly appreciated. the Timbs Special is in need of one.

 

Lyons covers for '35 Ford wheels...

 

Love Them! look great on your car...

 

I have a set similar to '19ford49's that fit over early Ford style caps.. They are not Lyons though... click pic to enlarge...

 

Here is some that are simular

 

Thanks guys now i know what they are used for.

 

Anyone have a pair of sombrero type 16's for sale for a 49 Ford?

 

There's a left and right side designed to scoop air in to cool your brakes.

 

I have a pair of these.

 

Any one have one of these they are willing to part with? 16" scum bag hit it pulling into a parking spot. I know this isn't in the wanted ads but I figure the guys interested in this thread might be most likely to have a spare?...
