Overlooked hubcaps.

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Sir Woosh, Mar 19, 2011.

  1. I have 47ish olds small caps on my '36 ford, '54 olds caps on my '64 panel truck, I have always liked the plymouths with the boat or spanish guy and '50 merc.


    last pic is what came up on google when i looked up '47 oldsmobile hubcaps.

  2. I had these kicking around ;) and thought they would suit the car:

    '63 Corvette wheel covers on my '51 Fleetline.

    Was watching the Elvis Presley movie "Speedway". There was a disco with partial vintage car booths and balcony's with vintage hub caps in a pattern on the railings. Looked pretty cool and gave me some ideas from dressing up the shop...............

    These look like 61 Dodge, but I have been told they may be aftermarkets based on the Dodge. I have not figured it out since the mounting flanges differ from the non "flipper" extras I bought from another source. Anyone know for sure? I kinda dig them.

    I'm a hound for a dog dish, some of the Ramblers might look nice with some beauty rings and painted wheels?

    Not only do those caps look awesome, but that is my ULTIMATE Dream Car.

    I heard about someone finding a cancelled check from my neighbors house being found about 30 miles from our house after the tornado. Who knows how far those caps went.

    I have had a bunch of the 61 Dodge 's ,never seen one that wasnt stainless...so I would guess those ones with the rust are aftermarket?

    NICE! I just bought a set of these for the right price. They won't fit my wheels because the wheels aren't deep enough but I still love em. Where can I get the new center?
