    Hello! I'm trying to identify these caps. After scouring the internet I'm turning to you guys for your expertise on these babies. Any ideas?? IMG-2533.JPG

    Thank you so much! Did they use these on several models? It seems tough to pin down a year/model for these types of center caps. Is that just the nature of the beast?

    Not the original or repop wire wheel caps for sure. Look home made. Late model emblem too.

    Don't know what they are, except KOOL! The question is, do you have anything they will fit ( and look right) ?!

    Nothing in mind! (or yard!) Just saw them and thought they were unique! Guess they are!! :) Think they're destined for ye olde eBay for someone who may be able to put 'em to use. Any idea of what they may be worth??

    If there is a Caddy forum, I think that I might post some pix on there. Just a thought.
