    Top one looks like a c55 Olds and the lower one looks like a French Peugeot from the '50s.

    The bottom one looks like an aftermarket cap made by Lions Manufacturing, probably sold by an auto parts store or J.C. Whitney. Look on the outer edge of the cap for the "Lions" name.

    The bottom one is definitely Lyon Manufacturing. Fifties aftermarket.

    Do you only have one of each or did he give you complete sets of those? Very cool.
