    haha. The first thing I thought of was premier caps... I love them and have been looking for a set for a while now. They're hard to find at a good price but I will.
    defietely the cap for this car!

    Try this guy here.http://hubcaps.org/lincoln1.html
    I got a set of New Yorker caps from him after having it carefully explained to me that they were refurbished caps. When I got them they looked like new old stock that had never been out of the packaging. Expensive but fantastic quality.

    Alex, After seeing your 54 @ the 2011 GNRS I would have never imagined that it would look good with skirts. I was wrong. I take back what I said in my earlier post.

    Thanks Paul, a bit more than I wanted to spend but less than what I paid for my sombrero's. My wife did ask what I wanted for my birthday...

    56 Olds caps would look really sweet on your Chevy. I am running them on my Ranchero. One of my favorite caps.

    Years ago I had a 55 Mercury with 57 Cadillac hubcaps, I always though they were the best looking caps... This was in 1964....:cool:

    How about a set of the early ['53-'54?] Olds Fiestas, not the later more flashy ones ['55-'56?] with the planets in the outer perimeter, but the subtle ones with smaller shorter bars & alternating white/chrome ribs. Just a thought, eh? If they'll pair-up with what you're running for rims...
