Hub cap help
I have this very nice set of hub caps other then needing some cleaning that I have no idea what there for and was wondering if anyone here could help me identify them. Thanks https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...0-img_1809.jpg

Cap style looks 66/67 Mopar? Centres appear to be Chrysler 300? Are they 15's? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] ~ Pete |
Re: Hub cap help
I do not know what they are 14's or 15's I guess tomorrow I could measure them. There in real decent shape and I'd like to move them on but first need to know what their for

Re: Hub cap help
Boy do those look like the '65-'66 Chevy mag styles (N96 I believe). They look like the 14s. They are almost identical except for the marking in the center of the fake hub and the slot/hole (these are smaller) in between the "spokes". It wouldn't surprise me if they were from the same supplier for Chevrolet. The 10 screws on the backside will allow you to remove the center portion of the cover making them easier to clean. Make note of the orientation of the valve stem location in relation to the logo in the center of the cap. That way you can put them back the way they were. You can compare the set you have to see if the location is in the same place for all of them. I've noticed that all of the Chevy ones I've seen that haven't been taken apart have the stem in the same location in relation to the bowtie. Those have to be somewhat rare. I'm always looking for may style wheel covers and have never seen a set like that.

Re: Hub cap help
I was pointing out the extreme similarities between the Chevy N96 covers and the potential AMC caps. They are so similar they were probably manufactured by the same supplier. I have a few sets of the N96 Chevy caps.

Re: Hub cap help
If they follow the same pattern as the Chevrolet caps, then they would be 65/66. 67/69 the round part (emblem area) was flush with the spokes. As you can see the center protrudes out....Joe

Re: Hub cap help
Yes, here's a picture of a '65-'66 cap that on my '66 Caprice. You can see how similar they are.

Re: Hub cap help
So, the last picture Pete posted has a wheel cover with "300" in the middle with a red/white/blue segmented stripe around it. The wheel cover Mike posted to start this thread has a red/white/blue segmented stripe in it's center. Is the cover AMC or is it Chrysler?? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Re: Hub cap help
I have a 61 300g and have not noticed a mag wheel cover on any of the ones I have seen.

Re: Hub cap help
----I'm positive that a version of these caps also showed up on earlier Jeep Wagoneers.....Bill S

Looks like most major Mfg's offered same/similar caps but I've never seen/heard of any 300's w/ them either? Here's a Jeep cap below w/ spinner centre and older style logo/colors. Others may know more but seems the Red/White/Blue logo as bottom pic was a '70 and later AMC/Jeep era thing?
