History Help to identify this wheel cover. Thanks

Oh hell that's a cap off of a '53 Trojan, you can tell by the horse. pretty rare, the cars were ****py and they ended up in the condom industry.

 

That horse...No Ferrari!

 

id say early Mustang >!!!

 

Whitney ....

 

You know what they say - "If you're hung like a horse, who needs a Mustang?"

 

Aftermarket, factory were stainless steel and don't rust

 

Looks like an aftermarket unlicensed copy of a Mustang II hubcap. As BJR said, the copies were often chromed steel, cheaper to make in short runs than stainless ones, and just slight variances to make sure they're not design patent protected.

Is it 13"?

 

yes a 13"

 

the horse going to the right would be the "slight variance"

 

There should be a fee for parts identification.

 

yea, but its sure nice for people like me to learn from people that know

 

That's for the p***enger side of the car, on the drivers side the horse faces left.

 

I'd go along with JC Whtney. They used to have page upon page of "almost look like" replacement hubcaps along with page after page of mirrors and other trinkets.

 

Here's a genuine Mustang cover
