Hub cap....??????

What does this thing go to...a awful design if you ask me...

 

I think its Buick. Need to check on year though.

 

toss it in the air and ,,its a UFO

 

It is a 54 Buick cap

 

It's a '53 .............'54's were very rounded, like a '53 Chevy full cap

It would make a decent airfilter top.

 

i'm probably wrong, and if i am somebody correct me but 53' buicks still had the straight 8 in them. did they have a v8 option in 53'?

 

1953 was the first year for the Buick V8....322 cu in.....standard equipment in the Super and Roadmaster.......The Special series retained the 263 cu in straight 8 for 1953. In 1954 the Special series got a 264 cu in V8........

I have a few of those kicking around in my basement. Any body care to enlighten us as to what the graphics stand for? Of course the "V" might be for a V8 car....

 

Hey...at least they're traditional! Jeez, I thought they were mid fifties chrysler caps. John

 

Nice looking Coupe!!!

 

I always thought they were pretty ugly wheelcovers.

The little symbols around the V are also part of the Buick crest logo, which I believe was David Buick's family crest. I think it all just was designed with that theme in mind.

 

cool, thanks for the schooling.

 

they are of a 53 super 54 are the ones I have on my 52, look at my profile and you will see the 54 caps

 

dude...two years ago...

 

the base model 53s had the final straight eights...all the rest had v8s.
