bhclark Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I spent some time on a few hubcap websites, but couldn't seem to nail these 2 down?Wire wheel Oldsmobiles appear to be for 15" wheels.The center caps I also think are Oldsmobile, and fit a 10 1/8 clip pattern.The Valve covers are Buick, '53-'56, correct?Any help appreciated!

Guest Jim_Edwards Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The shape of the embossed emblem in the valve covers would indicate other than Buick. The shape of the embossing is much like the shape of a '54 Chevy hood emblem but there were no V8 Chevys until '55. Not sure what they are.

Not sure what they are.That's what they looked like to be at first, but then I saw these emblems, so I was looking for confirmation.eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low pricesAre you sure the first wire one is 15" and not 13" They look like a 1982-1983 Ciera wheel cover.The teeth bite at about 13 7/8"I found several that were close but I couldn't find any matches.

Dave@Moon Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 You are right on the valve covers. They're for an early nailhead. (The raised area is for a Buick shield decal.): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Yaros Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The last hubcap, dog dish, is for a 1963'ish Oldsmbile F-85, me thinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The wire cap is for an 80s FWD compact Oldsmobile- Omega, Ciera, Firenza etc. The dogbowl is 1960 Olds (and to me remains one of Olds' most attractive wheel treatments ever).
