I picked up these caps at the Pomona Swap Meet a while back . I'd like to know what they came off of or who made em' . The guy that sold em to me didnt have much info on them except the price 300.00. Talked him down to 275.00 paid the man and split. There 15 inch. Any info on these would be appreciated.
They are aftermarket but not sure who made them. I have some of them myself. Love spinner caps have a whole wall of them.
They are '61 Dodge Polara, and they're 14 inch. The aftermarket wheel covers that were similar had 4 bars instead of 3. You can look here http://photos.aaca.org/showimage.php?i=25504&c=516 Or take a look at www.hubcaps.org Or http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1961...r_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3369fc2456 And http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1961...r_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a12e46a88
Look on the back & see if there is an Ink imprint of the DCPD & a part # If so the are real MoPaR You could the same cap aftermarket in 3 & 4 bar, In 13 14 & 15 inch Also, Are they Chrome tin or Stainless Steel ?
arkiehotrods- these are 15 inch caps. I ran em on my Suburban With 15 inch steel rims until I changed up and switched over to 16 inch. Desoto- These appear to be chrome as far as the magnet test goes. Doesnt appear to be the cheap re-pop stuff. I dont see any kind of I.D. stamp or #'s . The photos you guys posted appear to be like my set. Polaras ran 14's though . Thanks for all your help Hambers .The search continues !
De Soto taught me something. For years I've heard the 3 bar were Dodge and 4 bar were aftermarket. If they're 15 inch, they're definitely aftermarket. Whether factory or aftermarket, they are way cool!
Resurrecting this thread. I have the 4 bar version...They were found in the trunk of a 53 ford. Have appropriate patina to suggest they are real and they are bolt together. How rare are they? I can't find em anywhere online.
Seriously, I wanted to sell mine and I want to price em right... I need the $ for another project. I can't find other ones online to compare price.
