Turbinator Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 1963 red Riviera with TruSpoke wire wheels. Spoke wire wheels and nipples are stainless steel. The center cap I made from fabricated parts, COTS, and original Buick parts. Ive yet to see any center caps like mine on wire wheels. I've seen good looking Buick emblems in the spoke wheel center caps, but no 63 Buick TriShiels emblems in the center cap. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanoko Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I make 4 different sizes of center cap “V”s for Volvo 1800s fitted with Panasport wheels and various others. They are chrome with a black background. I just went to my local FastSigns shop and told them what I wanted. If you can source a good digital Tri shield you can probably do the same thing.

Dean, the product is more like a vinyl with a self stick? im not familiar with your application. For applying the emblem to a flat surface I can see it working well. In the case of the dome style center cap applying a product made for a flat surface to the dome style cap could be problematic. The sign stores are doing some great work.

Once I get it next to my red one I will figure out which one I like better and what my next steps are. Chris, let me know if you need assistance in decision on which one to like best.....but you probably already know what I would say so its rhetorical I suppose. Congratulations! Amazing that cars this special still turn up and were previously unknown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations! Amazing that cars this special still turn up and were previously unknown. I think I had to wipe down the black at least 3 times last weekend while it was in the garage. The red one just sat there looking good. Pretty sure I know which one I will be keeping long term, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Mooney Tom, I think it would be easier to keep track of originality if car makers did not make changes during model year. For instance the washer fluid label was changed from the black and white label during what year model and month. How about painting the firewall black instead of the color of the car. The Riviera aluminum treatment of the dashboard changes? Examples Ive mentioned may be easy to document. My point is production cars we are interested have a number of changes within the model year. Those changes make it hard for me to keep things straight. Later Gator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
