Dwight Romberger Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Yes. I thought it was called a grease cap?I just paid $300 to have mine repaired, polished and clear coated. I feel better now knowing they are hub caps and not "grease" caps. Edited September 16, 2013 by Dwight Romberger (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight Romberger Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks Larry and Mark. I never saw a round one with the Buick script in a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelod Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks Larry and Mark. I never saw a round one with the Buick script in a box.I believe that design is unique to late 1929. The earlier hubcaps in 29 used just a script design without the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight Romberger Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks Michael. I think the design is classic Buick. Maybe the script was too small to be read at a distance.Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I believe the ones without the Buick script were aftermarket caps not made by GM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
