    Agreed 100 % ;-))
    But the lyons didn´t keep the wheel from falling off............busted balljoints while cruising. lucky me didn´t hit the autobahn as I intended to.

    What the....?

    That looks horrible man. I hope that hubcap didn't get too scratched up!

    Thanks"Fly"! I've actually got two sets of the fluted ones already. Would like to get a set of the deep domed one's like the kind 7/11 has on his La Salle, but in 15".

    That'd make me happy.

    due to an inproper installed airride system. had trouble with it from day 1.
    the bags are too strong & even bent & broke the steel mounts of the rear shock absorbers.
    The balljoints couldn´t withstand the bag pressure, so the upper & lower joints just went to pieces.
    can only start fixing it in 3 weeks since I gotta work. But the bags will get the boot anyway.
    @lucky444: the hub got away with minor scratches ;-)) need them back ? hehe

    Very, very rare, only half of Cadillac made with those, I think it was Aug. of 1934, The other half had the normal hub caps.
    Car was sold last year at BJ Spring sale in Newark, NJ for 16 grillion dollars and 4 cheese burgers.
     
  10. I've got two pairs of the 15's, two have the center section that sticks out more, and other two (like the one on the right) don't stick out as much.

    I'm wondering if all the centers were typically painted red?

    I like the one on the right, with the recessed center and the black back color. Sexified!

    Both of those are very nice Pro Stock. I think the later fluted one's like mine all came with a white background on the emblem, while the earlier domed one's like you have all had a red and black background.
