Question..

[22dodge]

Does anyone have any information on these hub caps?
Just currious, never seen any for sale, have seen a few sets on cars.
Thanks, '22

Appear to be knock offs, even have some safety wires installed. Maybe some foreign racing wheels??? Never seen them either.

No, I the more I think about it, these are possibly custom wheels used on a race car driven by Veda Orr. She was a famous lady driver sometime around the '40's, had a '32 Ford she ran on the salt flats, I believe.

I also think her husband was involved, and may have built her a streamliner as shown in the drawing below. I am only guessing this, but the look of the tire and wheel are something out of that time period I think.

I just did some more research, and that is what it seems to be. There is a thread on the HAMB about the same subject.
