Hub caps on traditional 50's hot rod

I got hubcaps on mine....

 

here are some from 49 Ford, Olds flipper, Olds with bullet in the center.

 

My '31 A coupe with Mercury dog dish caps on 15x5.5 and 15x6 steelies. Not sure what year exactly.... I think they are 55 or 56.
Also has a 55 Merc dash and planning on the 55 taillights (I think).

This was built in 52
and recently redone to drive anywhere.

Used 39 caps

 

Damn it. Now I need to see some more of that T!
I just got done getting the want of a T roadster out of my system and was happy with a G***er A40 then you have to go and post this.

 

That T is nice.

While we're talking hubcaps, who has 16" dress rings? Anyone repopping them?

Pete

 

Yah I got a set from CW Moss from memory. Real nice trim rings too !!

Rat

 

Here's a couple

 

figured I'd dig this thread up instead of making a new one.

the MOON ripple discs... I was thinking about throwing these on my '53. When did ripple discs come onto the scene? what other caps would you suggest?

 

Here are a few pics of my old 53 Chevy. Hope this helps. thesneakytiki

 

I like a FIESTA

aiy yi yi yay

 

thanks Tiki

anyone else? when did the ripples come into style (if ever)

 

Ripples were around in the late '40s -- maybe before the war too. But they were more commonly used on customs than on hot rods.

 

these are cool on any Hot Rod or Custom !

 

I like the ones on the '49 that B*** is building, don't have a clue what they are for, but would like to have set for my '50 Coupe.

 

man i would love to own that stack!!!!!

 

heres mine....

 

Here's my old 53 GMC truck with Olds flippers

 

Saw your car in SM, man that is one very nice hot rod.
What are those covers ?

 

Thanks 50fraud.

Tiki, stupid question: what style of caps do you have on your Chevy? btw, I love that car. It was on my desktop for ever haha

 

Tiki has 57 caddi hubs with bullet centers.. I think they look awesome on kustoms.

 

Thanks...they are 32 Packard wire wheel covers. They bolt on to the rim. Im running 35 ford wire underneath.

 

cool, thanks man. Does anyone re-pop these?

I thought '57 Olds caps would look kinda rad, but won't fit my 15" wheels

 

Resurrecting this thread. I've decided to put caps other than simple baby moons on my '56 Chevy pickup... I LOVE those gold Packard caps, and the fiestas are sweet!

Maybe some of you guys have links to places where stashes of caps can be found?...

 

I'll be running 51 Lincoln on the back of the T.

 

back to the top?

 

are you running the lincoln flatty as well?

 

I got a 46 Ford sedan with some 15 inch rims on it. (probably later model truck rims) I was looking for some hubcaps that would clear the hubs on the stock axles. Anyone know what might work? Thanks

 

long time since the last post. lets get some more for inspiration and ideas!!!!!!!!!
