Hi A friend has four full wheelcovers having a three bar knock-off style hub center casting with a Chevrolet emblem on a red background plastic insert in the center. This casting is bolted to what turns out to be the standard '50-'53 Oldsmobile wheelcovers which have had the mounting holes die cut so the uniformity suggest they are a GM-made unit. I'll try to get photos to post here. Can anyone tell me if these are genuine Chevrolet accessory wheelcovers for the '50-'53 models? And point me to an on-line site with photos of them? Thanks! Steve

Hi I will be bringing a set of four '56 Fiesta X-2 Deluxe stainless steel wheelcover to Hershey to sell. They are in good, complete, unrestored condition, will need small dimples worked out, to be polished and the color areas repainted. Please indicate your interest here and I will follow up. Thanks Steve

Hi Paul Wonderfully elegant, almost all from the existing parts! The chrome V-windshield adds to the elegance of those proportions. Surely wish they'd taken advantage of the good bones they had to do custom bodies like this! Steve

I like that! What a great car that would have been in the P-A showrooms for '38! Those would have brought the well-healed buyers back in droves. I agree, it does need wheelcovers rather than wires, maybe with a different hole pattern around the outside and the nice big Pierce hexes in the center.

Mahoning63 is showing us how LeBaron might have continued to develop those Salon designs from '31 if the market had been better and further bodies had been built after the initial run. Hugo Pfau wrote in his Cars & Parts series in the '70's that it took P-A until '34 to sell the last of those LeBaron bodies built in the white in '31. What a shame they didn't get to integrate a coupe-trunk onto a convertible sedan body.....creating a three-box, four door hardtop by 1934!

The three-box sedan was so within their grasp, how great it would have been if they'd made the conceptual leap and built them. As good as the rear-mounted spare looks, enclosing them in the body was considered more modern at the time. To accommodate the spare and add visual balance another six inches of trunk and fender lengthening would do the job.

Hi Great-looking Silver Arrow variations! Oh, the lost opportunities the new ‘34 management let pass are mind-boggling. While they had a reputation for very conservative styling as well as bespoke quality, the Silver Arrow demonstrated they could break out with something radical yet still very elegant. What a shame once they’d presented such a progressive concept they then failed to follow up with a production line that really embodied those idea. The ‘34-’35 Silver Arrow coupes are nice but a rather pale effort by comparison to the original. So, in the vein of follow-up Silver Arrow variations, discussions between myself and Mahoning63 inspired these designs and a watercolor rendering. The black & white line drawings are developed sketches, a bit rough. Some are from the approach that Jimmy Hughes and Phil Wright might have taken….then a heavy influence of Letourneur & Marchand took hold! Enjoy!

Hi this photo of a Selden truck was also given to me by old family friends here in western New York some years ago. They had no information about location or who the workmen were. What year(s) and model is this Selden truck? Thanks! Steve
