    Found these sweet New old stock wheelcovers. They fit my 16" chevy wheels.

    But I was looking for some wheelcovers for the 15 " rims on my Hudson. Then the guy pulls out these.

    Never seen any caps like these before. What did they run these on back in the day? I think they are sweet.

    Don't worry. It's sitting on a towel rolled up, to hold it from leaning.

    Does anyone have any pictures of these installed on a car? About a month ago I think someone posted an old picture of a custom with these. I have searched but can not find anything.

    Beyond belief gorgeous, they are worth building an entire car around. Never again will we see designs like these and they were made for and sold to us common guys.

    Just spectacular, you scored.

    WOW... those are SO cool.

    I think those where actually designed by George DuVall in the 1940's. And if I'm right they where produced shortly after the much better known ripple disk single bar flipper hubcaps came on the market, also first designed by George DuVall, based on the early 1930's Cadillac designs.

    I have been looking for some good photos of these for a long time...
