jsgun Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Can anyone tell me what this center cap is from? I'm assuming a Wildcat, but I'm not sure of the year. I'm missing one, and trying to find a replacement. It appears to press in from the backside of the rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965rivgs Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 `64 Wildcat The condition of the center cap pictured is quite deteriorated. The background should be black and the Wildcat head should have a chrome appearance. The outside band should also have a bright appearance. The cap presses in from the front side of the rim Tom Mooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epriv Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Mitch Romanowski reproduces these as well as Riviera medallions. Check the back of the Riview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Here's an example, albeit not pristine, of what the '64 Wildcat center caps looked like. Kind of like the proverbial hen's teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW - nice collection Ed. !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of glad they're not; otherwise I'd be forced to find a Wildcat to go with them. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgun Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Thanks for all the info! Good to know what they were supposed to look like. All 3 of mine look like the pic, badly corroded. I look for them on ebay every once in a while, but no luck. Since they're rare, I may go to some other cap, maybe a chrome bullet. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
