    I ran 57 Cad caps with red tail light lenses in them on my 51 because a couple of the Cad centers were gone or in bad shape when I bought the caps one at a time. Wish I could buy 4 57 Cad caps for under 100 bucks now.

    I've got a set of 57 Buick caps that I was thinking about using on the 48 with bullet centers but am not really digging the look of the bullet in that cap.

    I love the 57 caddy hubcaps and own a set already but saving them for my convertible. I know all about how expensive they have gotten because like you I spent maybe $125 or so for a set of 5 buying them one at a time a swap meets and they had decent centers in them. Now they reproduce the centers for about what we paid for the caps originally:rolleyes:
