auburnseeker Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I just ran across this cap on ebay. It's either for an airflow or an Airstream 8 I believe. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1930s-40s-Chysler-8-Hub-Cap-9-3-4-/121541156312?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c4c6addd8&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol swede Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 My Airstream has that same cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35cz8 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 It has a different back on it than the ones on my Airstream DeLuxe 8. It might be that because it is an aftermarket cap that it is a little different than the factory cap. This is the back of one of my originals.

auburnseeker Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 I think it's original. The back is the same as my 36 Caps. I have a 6 though so they don't have the 8 emblem. The Chrysler script is correct. Maybe they had a few different types. 35CZ8 yours almost look like the caps I have for wire wheels with the retaining clips. On my 6 the clips are on the rim.

maitken Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I have one of these hubcaps too with the same spring clips.My understanding is that the non-spring clip was used on the U.S. "Arttillary " wheels and the spring style were use on wheels in Canada that used the standard rim.CheersMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36 D2 Coupe Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Definitely NOT Airflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35cz8 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 My Airstream DeLuxe 8 is, by the way, a 1935 model year and I think they changed the hubcap clips in 1936 by putting them on the wheels instead of the cap itself. Can anyone confirm that this is when the change was made? Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58 Speedster Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 35 had the clips on the caps, 36 had the clips on the rim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
