Hot Rods I need information on this early Ford hubcap.

Does anybody know any information on this hubcap? Thanks for the help.

 

Not a clue, but if you're unsuccesful getting an answer here, try theFord Barn forum: https://fordbarn.com/forum/

 

Maybe its an old unliscenced repop. Whatever it is I wish I had 4 of them

 

yes, it is. There is a thread here recently on miss-spelled caps.

 

Look at a stock 1937 Ford..then you descide..

 

Could it be a Willys? It looks like a W.

 

............This is what an original would look like. A" V "instead of a "W" on the replacement cap.

 

W8
hey, that's phonetic for ''wait''.

 

Looks more like an “M” than a “W”.

Aftermarket hub caps used to abound. Western Auto and other outlets would gave replacement caps that almost looked stock and not be open to copyright law suits. The W instead of a V is a perfect example. There were lots of Ford hubcaps made with script "Bool" instead of Ford. It took a moment or two the focus in and see the difference. Used to see many at swap meets.

 

Ok, if it's an "M", then possibly from Down Under.
As in ''Mate".

 

...In a twist of interpretation I see this...

​

 

I just got that......I'm slower than your average Hotrod...

 

It's the hubcap off of a flying saucer. Thus a saucer cap. The "M" is for Mars. Works for me.
