Gunsmoke Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I have a single Chrysler hubcap as shown (year/model unknown), looking for a full set for the steel artillary style wheels shown (from unknown make/model) which have a 6&5/8" hubcap hole opening. The cap shown fits perfectly, and is 7.3"OD and 6.55" ID along with spring loaded clips. Will consider hubcaps in any restorable condition as I will likely restore them. I will also buy singles if a set is not available. Car shown is a '36 Chrysler Airstream which has similar looking wheels, not sure if those hubcaps are similar dimensions. I will also consider any Chrysler hubcaps that fit 6&5/8" opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Looks to be a reproduction cap. The originals had a steel buck with a chrome plated brass skin over it. I believe that you can only see the reverse image on the back on the reproduction caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 That's interesting K31. I would be happy with a repo (if this is such) or original, as long as it was Chrysler badged and fit hole size. Would also be OK 2 slightly different ones , a pair for driver's side and another pair for passenger side if need be. At this point I want to fill the holes and as time passes would keeping looking for full original set. BTW, this one I show is very well made, seems to be galvanized steel (no signs of rust), it is heavy and in pretty nice original condition for 85 years old. \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I believe that style is 1929. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
