Anyone ever seen these in the wild? My wife found this one for a 14" wheel at a swapmeet about 10 years ago. Now that I want to run them on something it seems impossible to track down three more. The ad is the only reference to it I have found.
haha, no luck here, I do not have any. I would bet that like most aftermarket wheel covers of the time that they were chrome plated steel and rusted like crazy....
Yup, chromed with aluminum spears. The one we have is really nice and rust free. I could run skirts on the rear and another cap on the other side. Years ago my dads buddy came to a show with one style of hubcap on one side of his car and another style on the other side. His response when asked about it was "You can't see both sides at the same time can you?"
they look just like 57 plymouth wheel covers. maybe buy a set and make the alum fins and attach em here is an ebay auction for a set but they are 15. I think original plymouths were 14s https://www.ebay.com/itm/1249496636...cij1J395HxwPnXk94kJu3weMddw-cTTMaAjbtEALw_wcB
I could be mistaken but weren't these sold in the mooneyes catalog back in the 1990s? I was high school age so I probably wore the covers off of the catalog and say about 1993 maybe 1994 ish I unfortunately don't have it anymore to look it up.
I hate this website because I always go on wild goose chases Trying to figure things out I will say one thing. They look remarkably similar to a 1960 Bonneville hubcap (picture taken from eBay It is a current ad and it isn't mine)
Yeah, a guy in the hubcap collectors group on Facebook posted the same picture. I would get them if they didn't say Pontiac on them.
did you see my post above? these are those caps without the fins .. which could be made by anyone with a press brake
The 3rd pic in show’s it’s not a flat sided cone. Adding fin’s to a crowned surface would make them look odd.
