    I bought this pair and the third from a local guy, picked em up at the hamb drags and would like to find a fourth... I might be running skirts so i might only need 2 but I'd rather have the option.

    The hubcap is 59 impala I believe, but I'd like to know what the flipper came from?? Aftermarket??

    Those are definitely aftermarket. I had a set years ago that i wish i still had. I've got a JC Whitney catalog from the late 50's that has those in it. Very cool.
     
  3. They look like you could rip up the quarters on a '42 Ford ragtop with them...


    Seriously though, they're pretty cool, I could see running them. I would have suspected aftermarket too, especially if they're cast potmetal with cheap chrome.

    I think those wheel covers are actually 58 Chevy, not 59.
