Brenda was never concerned about what others think is "correct" and elected to use the early Ford caps, beside the Customline Ranch Wagon was offered with dog dish hubcaps from the factory. HRP
Exactly right Ladyhrp , who are you building this car to please? Everyone is entitled to an opinion, listen but don't be swayed and you choose no rings , great, stick to your choice.
I'm not saying that the dog dish caps aren't 'correct' as OEM, simply that a rodder or customizer in those days would 'upgrade' to full wheel covers as those were the 'latest thing'. Trim rings were now a throwback '40s-style choice....
Don,as you probably know the original engine turned panel had extremely small gauges and idiot lights,I wanted to keep the original look but clean up the knobs and add clear visible gauges. HRP This is the original configuration. And the modified version. HRP
