16-inch wheelcovers for kustoms

Hey guys,

I've been lucky enough to get a set of the 16-inch export wheels for my 1949 Ford Club Coupe, and now I need to get a set of 16-inch wheelcovers--something early kustom-like.

So I'm wondering who makes, and who made, what--and I'm figuring somebody out there has to know.

The one style I'm pretty sure they still make today are those "full moon" brand-x wheelcovers like Lee Pratt had on his 1940 Ford "Li'l Nugget." But where do you find 'em? The only ones I see on eGay are 15-inch.

Also, any other ideas? Steve Sellers had 16s on his shoebox, and he dug up some pretty *****en wheelcovers. What else were guys running in '52?

Thanks! Feel free to PM me any responses.

 

Theo,

1948 through probably 1949 Cadillac 75 series had 16" Sombreros ! Earlier 75 series also had 16 " Wheelcovers ! They are difficult to find !

Good Luck,
Sonny

 

Thanks, Sonny!

Anyone else?

 

You might try Rallye America. They had some solid 16" covers that take a 32-35 ford wire wheel cap in the middle.

 

Theo, You're going to have to search them out. Several were made in the late 40's...

 

Thanks, Lynn!
I know a couple places to start looking.

 

Theo, you are gay. Thank you.

 

OK, I'll take four CB16 All Chrome Bar Discs - where do I send my $100?

I think I've got a set of the Calnevar Whitesides that clip onto early Ford wheels, here somewhere, in their original boxes, to trade.

 

REM...did you notice that was 25.00 for a set of four?????
