    I like them both, but I would run the Merc caps because I like the rib looks of the Merc caps better.

  4. I really like the Mercury caps, but the Lincoln caps are cool too. I'd probably go with the Merc caps. I wish I had a set.

    Since it's "Nuthin Fancy", I'd run the Mercs if I had to pick. And I do like the ribs anyway. Looks good either way.

    Those ribbed Merc caps would look great with '40 Ford ribbed trim rings.

    Im leaning toward the Lincolns, the Merc caps are a bit 'bulbous' for my taste and stick out a bit too much.

    I have this set of Lincoln caps, but they won't fit a lot of aftermarket wheels..For now they are garage art. 20170203_074055.jpg

    I’d have to see the whole car but you wouldn’t be the first guy to run different caps on the p***enger side than the drivers side.

    I remember BobK swapping wheel covers pretty regularly on his Chevy. Good reminder that they aren’t permanent :)

    I recently bought a new set of aftermarket Mercury hub caps, been looking for a set for several years, I just need to paint them the correct colors, these will replace the '48 Ford hub caps on my old beater. HRP
