Kreeps I have those Ellie heels in second pic! super comfy. She has fine taste in shoes. Sure makes sexiest hubcaps.

 

My Collection of Wheel Discs, Changed every couple of months.

Better pic of the caps , love these.

 

My collection of wall-hangers. This isn't all of them, and I no longer have that garage, but someday maybe I'll have them all displayed:

 

Hi.... I have the stock Sombreros on my 49 Cad custom..just added domes......

 

I loved my cone caps,my fav. was my 53 Studebakers with there gold dot and then these aftermarket cone's,ture there are a lot of sexy ones,but to me the cones were the best ! This is my "J" in a show around 1961 at Dinner key,Coconut Grove/Miami Fl.

 

@dana barlow I love the aftermarket cones too.
Here's the NOS set I got a while back, now on my Plymouth (avatar).

I really don't think these had every been on wheels before. Each was still in a brown paper wrapper in the box!

 

Great hubcap, Sancho.

 

Automotive grade panel adhesive.
You’d tear the metal before you could ever separate it once setup.

 

I was always partial to 57 tbird hubcaps.. a friend has one or two and I was gonna grab them but they are 14s, still love the look though.

 

This was the A-number one custom cap in my neighborhood youth. (East Coast, born 1950.)
'59 Lancers were next.

 

Honestly, I was hoping this thread would turn me on to a hubcap I had never paid attention to. Something a little less expensive, if it gets lost or stolen. Looks like I may just have to bite the bullet.

 

where I come from anything sexy must have boobs.

 

My 1949 Merc with 15 " full moons from 50's, keeping Merc's simple is the ticket.

 

Great thread!

 

Not sure I'd call them "sexy", but I liked them........

These look like 57 - 58 Eldorado Brogham wheels

 

I have a set of those 55 Windsor caps, they changed the whole direction for my 51 chevy from early 60's sorta street racer to late 50's custom.

 

May I suggest the 1950 or '51 Imperial hubcaps? One has the center indent, one doesn't. Can be found for less than $50 each if you're patient.

 

Re; 56/57 Lincoln caps.
I had a '56 Lincoln Premiere that had a wandering hubcap problem just on driver's side.
Seemed that a mere bump in the road/street and it would dismount by itself.
This happened a couple times and I'd just push it back on and give it a few whacks with a soft hammer, knowing it wasn't seated very well. It always "squirreled" around.
One time I was headed to a car show on a 4-lane and when that happened, I quickly turned off to a side street just in time to see the cap rolling on by, only to be run over by a service truck. I think the guy was intent on smashing because he didn't try to avoid it at all.
Got a replacement and yet that particular wheel just didn't hold the cap well.
Tried the duct tape trick, but that didn't work either.
As a last resort, I changed the wheel with the spare. No problems after that.
I can only assume the wheel was either not a Lincoln or perhaps a different year.
Altho' it looked the same, there must have been a diiference in the rim design.
Something to note when considering using the 56/57 Lincoln caps for your ride.

 

Good to know.

 

Just saw these on Instagram that HAMBer Chris Casny made for his 40 Merc -- pretty sexy if you ask me.

 

I like odd stuff, so here's a few overlooked caps. Plus I like nondescript (no name, just insignia) type caps,

1951-52 Plymouth (if you like ships):


1951-54 ? Desoto (one of my Favorites):


As stated before 1954-55 Olds (full and dog):

 

Can't believe we made it to page 4 before someone posted a set of Hollywood Flippers! Totally my favorites...

Also love DuVall swirl caps...

 

Lincoln also I have them on my 54 Lincoln. check my aviator pic

 

I agree, on earlier cars especially. Roothawg is working on a '55 Ford though....
