Guest Ahamkara Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Is there any chance that these are Original???That would help tremendously.TY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 The word Pontiac is spelled correctly. That being said, I believe they are original. There would be copyright infringments. Didn't GM have off shore plants in South America and Australia? Possibly these came from some where other than North America.They look late 30's or 40's.

Guest prs519 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I find it odd that they did not spell out Chieftan! Please do not shoot the inquisidor, but is it certain that they are hubcaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PONTIAC1953 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 well i don't believe these are originals, as for the using of the word pontiac, the pontiac motor division didn't own the word pontiac. in 39 years of seeing every year pontiac that was made here in the states, i can say that i have never seen these hubcaps before. charles coker, 1953 pontiac tech advisor.

Guest prs519 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Part of an advertising display, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 They are from a Pontiac Chief Travel Trailer. Not sure of the year. They were built after the war until the early 50s, maybe longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Was that affiliated with the Pontiac motor division of GM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Commodore Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Was that affiliated with the Pontiac motor division of GM?It does not appear to be. They were built by the Pontiac Coach Company of Drayton Plains, Michigan. See link to ad.1955 Pontiac Chief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carl H Sturgeon II Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hello,I have a 1953 Pontiac Pontiac Chief Delux T 45 travel trailer and those indeed would be the hubcaps for the Pontiac trailer manufacture. I would be very interested in getting additional information about those hubcaps and would also like to purchase them from you if you were interested in selling them. Even if you don't want to sell I would be very thankful to get a good picure emailed to me so I would know what to hunt for in the future. I have PM'd you with my contact information. Thanks in advance Carl H Sturgeon II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
