    I have run out of time and options I need some real help here i am looking for a complete set of these hub caps. the size 15" I have been told they are an after market item from the late 40's early 50's and some have said they could be from a 37 39 Peugeot (sp) These caps belong to a restoration project and they are one of the last remaining parts that need to be located.

    I would be gratefully for any leads or information on these

    I am not shure if the Frazier crest is the same. it is hard to get a good look at the center emblem on some of these i will post an orgional picture of the car we are restoring.
     
  6. Hmm, I think that hubcap was aviable in a 16" as well, think they are maybe JC Whitney or Western Auto perhaps ?

    This is a picture of the original caps and the car The Timb's special. the cap we have has the same crest there are a few more photos that show them a little better.

    I have a set on my '37 LaSalle coupe, they are 16". The guy I bought them from said they were Lyons hubcaps made by a after market company in the 50's. Seem to be very rare.
     
  12. I have one I found in Ohio in the mid 90's. Never knew what it was off of.
