Hubcap identity.what are these?

Not being a real hubcap expert I turn to the all knowing Hamb.

Any ideas?

 

hubcaps thats my expert opinion although i could be wrong they may be real classy bird feeders.............Mad Marq p.s sorry mate i just couldnt resist

 

Root, ya got a close up of the crest?

 

If that crest is ship they're probably Plymouth.

 

Root- Most definitely 55 Chrysler Wheelcovers. Fargo

 

The three with the ribs look A LOT like the '77-79 Hubcaps that came stock on LTD II's and plain jane '77-79 Cougars. Looks like the centers were popped out, and replaced...the red paint would have been added... Hard to tell from your picture...see mine:

 

Here is a close up.

 

Ahhh. I stand corrected. But close, no?

 

Desoto

 

What was it back then with car manufacturers and lions or tigers or whatever and thier crests? 50-60's DeSoto looks a lot like a '70's Ford. Hmmmm....Was Ford running low on ideas? I thought Ford "had a better Idea" in the '70's...

 

Well I'll be damned. I clicked the thread, then thought "ehh, but I could only identify the hubcaps from like 3 different cars anyway, ohwell".

Talk about a coincidence, not only do I know exactly what those are from, but I just bid on a set on eBay RIGHT before I went over to the HAMB!

If someone outbids me, I'll buy 'em from you Except the smooth one...it's definitely a New Yorker crest, but maybe it's from a '54 or '56.

 

I just like hubcaps and thought these were kinda cool.
