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 Rex Rogers
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.
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. Rex
I was told that they were from a parts store and we have found some 14" and i belive a few 16" had been located. Rex

Thanks for the info the one pictured looks great the sets we have look like they have beed to gravel yard and back. What is the site? Rex
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.
I have 3 16" ers, but still looking for the 4th one. Mine have a white wall type ring on the outside & look really cool, but I need the 4th one. Any out there?
I finally found some one to work these out for me and they turned out great. I know this might seam like an add but these guys treated me right and i could not be happier with how they turned out sen the caps out to get the lettering done last night.
