'53 - '55 Olds Fiesta caps would look great on your car if you want a full cap. Another good option would be baby moons and trim rings although those may be too close to what you have now. Check out the Hubcap Mike website, vintage caps. I've dealt with Mike several times and have always been pleased with his quality and service.
Try a search on the 'net for custom hubcaps. The Fiestas that Dobie posted are readily available at several vendors. Surely there is one in your neck of the woods.
The Fiestas are $155 each, USD. You can check shipping cost to your location on the following link: https://hubcapmike.com/vintage-hubcaps/ Click on "Shipping Policy" and follow the instructions. Peruse the "Vintage Hubcaps" section, he has many styles. Prices vary by style.
Dobie,you might want to look at this I think your price might be off a "little" https://hubcapmike.com/vintage-hubcaps/fiesta-wheel-covers/
Those aren't the same as the '53 - '55 Fiesta caps. The one's you're talking about are similar to the '56 Fiesta caps but without the "Saturns" between the spinner blades and not as deep dished. I don't care for the waffle pattern background. Mike's '53 - '55 caps are exact reproductions of the originals but for the center emblem. Original '56 Fiesta caps:
$100 a set compared to $620 a set I could love those waffles a lot Not exactly the kind I'd want my chicken on though!
Here’s what’s on mine. Olds Fiesta exact repops, including center emblem, from Fusick. https://www.fusickautomotiveproducts.com/ They are perfect and don’t come off. Takes me back to my teen years.
Lots of idea's here too: https://www.google.com/search?q=195...AUICigB&biw=1343&bih=670#imgrc=8xGzV_kVkocq1M:
Yes, some great looking cars there This pic got me thinking, my dash is the same colour as the roof on this one and also been considering fender skirts
I have the ‘55 repop covers from Fusick. They are stainless and perfect. I would think their ‘56 covers would be of the same quality.
My dash color is a variant of the body color and looks good as do the skirts. A big job to to do a quality repaint job on dash. Then the garnish mouldings and window frames must be painted to match.
My car is mostly original(I’m told it won some “rouge awards”-is that a usa thing?) I always have a dilemma about changing much on it That dash looks just like mine!
The AC is Vintage Air. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vta-672001vhy Works very well. Tried to keep the Vintage theme. See photo of under hood for AC details. The blue light is a voltage meter that plugs into the lighter. The car has been converted to 12 volt with an alternator. The original gauges were retained and I did not want to add non stock gauges, again to keep original theme. It plugs into the lighter receptacle. When the moment moves me, I will have the amp gauge converted to a volt gauge. Note that the clock hole now has a tach in it using the original clock bezel.
I used the stock battery box and modified the top hold down bracket to allow for a quality 12 volt battery. Also used was electric steering, Mallory Distributor and other items which demand a 12 volt source. For the gauges and radio, an electronic 12 volt regulator was used rather than voltage reducers which provides proper amperage on demand. All original wiring was byp***ed when installing new items so the original wiring was not strained.
