Does anyone make a reproduction Mercury hubcap?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Fordor Ron, Dec 25, 2009.

  1. I've seen the small "dog dish" style Mercury caps on many cars through the years. Anyone know where I could find a set either original or repops?

    Thanks in advance.

    Merry Christmas!

  2. I didn't realize they were different. I haven't bought the wheels yet but will probably buy the most common that will fit. First time I ever bought hubcaps before the wheels. LOL...

  4. I'll try to contact Vaphead. Neither one of the companies above have the cap that has the word Mercury on them.

    They have Mercury caps. They just don't say Mercury on them. Go figure...

    The 1942 Style says "Mercury" with winger head below.

    And the 1947-48 style says "MERCURY" with the wingy things above and below.

    I'll try to round up some pic's but not tonight (xmas)
     
  6. Thanks for the heads up...

    I bought a set a few years ago, I believe they had the wings and mercury logo. They fit ford 5on 5.5 bolt pattern wheels. I want to say they were a drake or vintique repop. Nice quality, but next to genies could see very slight differences.

    I'm looking for some Merc caps as well. Needed for newer Ford truck rims so i'm guessing 10 1/8?

    Would prefer Stainless over chrome....

    What's available?? At the very least I'd be interested in the stainless dog dish in 10 1/8th.
     
  9. I can't believe these things are that hard to locate. All I can find are the blank ones with no lettering.

    May have to buy the Ford ones after all...

    The 1940 style wheel.
    Mercury caps that say Mercury,
    1942- says mercury with the head below.
    1947-48 says MERCURY with the winged clouds above and below.

    retail on caps is $75.00 each.
    I can do better for Alliance members.

    I have a couple sets in stock and can always get more.
    Also have the Canadian Monarch with the Lion.

    If you are looking for caps for 1950 Merc type wheels.
    Was it 49 or 51 that had words on it? Not available new.

    Merc caps for aftermarket wheel (non original design) not available.

    Hope this helps.
