    I bought a 62 impala and it's got these hubcaps on it. Stole this pic from the rotting thread. Anybody know what these are? JC Whitney? Thanks . Lippy 0 1965 Buick Riviera 22afba.jpg

    That's not a Lancer hubcap, it's an aftermarket. This is an original, BIG difference-- s-l1600.jpg

    What seems is not being recognized here is the difference between the ‘57 and ‘58 versions of the Dodge Lancer wheel covers …..though it is minor.

    The inner circle with the painted area was a pale gold color for 1957 models. For 1958, that area was painted black.

    The insert of the cap under the four bar has little white squares. then the four bar on top of that and the crossed flags in the center. I don't see the little white squares in the jc hubcap. Maybe its just the pic .

    I'm thinking that there have been so many of those checkerboard aftermarket lancers floating around over the years that many folks now think they are the real deal .
    There were different levels of aftermarket ones too. The good ones and the ones that rusted in about six months.

    I know what your saying. I place no value on these caps they were on the car when I bought it the other day. I tried to upload a pic of the car and caps and i'm not that good at finding my 3,000 pics on my computer once I download off my phone.:D When I bought the car the owner said they are stock 62 impala SS hubcaps. I said no they are aftermarket of some kind. JC whitney jumped into my mind of course. The Hamb brothers always come up with a picture. I love them and will leave them on the car. :) I'll try and post of the pic of the car. Lippy
