Rooster Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I was looking through a magazine the other day and saw this picture of a 1954 hot rod. It does not have original hub caps, does anyone know what they are off ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airy Cat Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 It looks like a 40s or 50s Cadillac with the center replaced by a bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Thriller Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 It's not the high end cap for a '61 Buick, but it has similar styling cues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel88 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I believe it is a '57 Cadillac hubcap that has been modified with a bullet added to the center over the Cadillac emblem. I had '57 Cadillac hubcaps on my '53 Mercury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brh Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Could be dead wrong but looks like 56 Caddy stock caps. I think on the "low end" Caddys these were std caps--Fleetwood?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rlbleeker Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I agree, it looks like a '57 Cad with the center replaced.Check out hubcaps.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 That is a great website !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Looks like what they do is take out the '57 Cadillac emblem and replace it with a bullet. I found a custom car website that sells the bullets. Mmmm, Irene would look nice with those on. Anyone got a set for sale ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 We must crawl before we can walk ----- A better question to be asked first.Will the '56 or '57 Caddy hubcaps fit on the Super & Roadmaster rims ?The design of both is different looking from behind. The '56 is quite bulky in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
