hub caps / wheel covers

[thom]

Who runs full wheel covers, or hub caps ? I found these at a local thrift store recently. They were missing the original centers so I added the spinners. I might use them on my '55 Studebaker truck. I believe they are 50's Cadillac. Any know for sure? thanks.

I think they are 56 or 57.

Cool find. Nice touch on the spinners.

Thom, I had the same idea as you. My hubcaps are plainer than yours though but my spinners are bigger, I think. I sure like spinners. Great invention, Thom.

I'd run those. I am more of a dog dish guy but full wheel covers of this sort are very acceptable.

I'm a hubcap kinda guy, so I really like em. Post some pictures when you get them on.

Thom, I took a picture of mine today. They are not bolted together but you can see that I like the same sort of hubcap that you do. Mine were on a '69 LTD, [in fact that's the hood for a background] and the spinners are probably off a '56 Oldsmobile. I really like spinners; so keep up the good ideas.
Two are going on the front of a '46 Dodge coupe and two on the front of a '50 Ford chopped coupe. Both cars will be taildraggers and have fender skirts on the back.
