Tri-shield hubcap centers for '62 Skylark

I'm still looking for the R/W/B "Tri-shield" centers for the hubcaps on my '62 Skylark, if anyone knows where I might find them - thanks!

I may have some, but most likely they are attached to hubcaps. I'll check. How many do you need?

Bill, I'd like better ones (than the ones I have) all the way around. What kind of shape do you think yours might be in? Dave

I have checked all of my seven hubcaps. Only one looks like it would be up to your standards. The others are so-so at best and some worse than that. In looking at them closer I believe you could match the colors, clean off the back paint/etc and repaint them. I will probably do that to all my emblems at the same time - it should work. Best of luck.

That's a good idea - I think I'll look into doing that, as well. Thank you for checking for me.

Go to your local hobby (model) store and check out their model paint like Testors. You will find a perfect color match for the Red, White and Blue. The Silver might be a little more of a problem.
