Guest scott mich bca # 6619 Posted November 6, 2000 Share Posted November 6, 2000 Gents,<BR> Just a note, I fount out the hard way. There are 2 sizes of wire wheel covers on the '53. <P> The difference is the depth from front to rear. I know the Special takes the smaller ones, & the Roadmaster takes the deeper ones, not sure which the Super uses.<BR> <BR> Otherwise, parts wise the spokes and center emblems are the same.<P>Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Buicklover Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 If memory serves me right, the Roadmaster & Super will have the V in the center. The Special has the Buick Crest. Both sets are 15". Both types are getting pretty hard to get ahold of these days.<BR>Bill R. BCA #12434 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scott mich bca # 6619 Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 Buicklover,<P> That is partialy correct. That is only on the full wheel cover, not the spokes.<P>Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my3buicks Posted November 8, 2000 Share Posted November 8, 2000 Scott, I disagree with you. The wires as well as the full wheel covers sported the V for the Super and Roadmaster standing of course for the V-8 and the crest was used on all Special series even with the wire wheel option. Part #'s are different for the 50/70 versus the 40 series also. And I also foolishly passed on a NOS set of wires at Hershey a couple years back for a 40 Series for $200 and they possitively had the crest and I verified the part #'s at that time also. <P>------------------<BR>Keith Bleakney BCA# 11475<P>1967 Technical Advisor<P>1 - 1967 (3517) & 1 - 1953 (56R) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scott mich bca # 6619 Posted November 8, 2000 Share Posted November 8, 2000 I stand corrected. I had 6 covers. They all had the same centers. I assumed the centers were all the same for all series until I when putting one of them on, the bowl on the back was not deep enough. <BR> What you are saying makes sense.<BR>The Special had a straight 8, so no need for the V on the wheel centers.<P>Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capgage Posted November 9, 2000 Share Posted November 9, 2000 Scott,<P>Please do not tell me that I have been into 58 buicks for twelve years and never knew that the V was to signify the V-8 engine!<P>Anyone know where I could get some of those V centers? (I know 58 buicks did not use them, but I had this idea for making center caps with them for use with my 64 rally wheels...dont ask!)<P>Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
