Hubcap identification

Recommended Posts

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!

Are you sure the first wire one is 15" and not 13" They look like a 1982-1983 Ciera wheel cover.

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.

That's what they looked like to be at first, but then I saw these emblems, so I was looking for confirmation.

The teeth bite at about 13 7/8"

I found several that were close but I couldn't find any matches.

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).

That is what I thought for the wire wheel cover which would make the 13".
