Alfa Fan Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 How can you tell an original Fiesta hubcap from a possible knockoff? Is there a number or letter code on them? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 53 Fiesta full wheelcovers had white painted concentric rings as the background. The three bar Fiesta spinner had the Oldsmobile crest and shield in the center and bolted over the small center crest. This wheelcover was optional for 1954-55 88-98, with or without spinner. 56 Fiesta caps used a different background, stamped "ringed worlds" with a silver painted accent, and a large bladed spinner. Most of the aftermarkets had a cheap checkerboard background or didn't have the Olds crest as it was trademarked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 Alfa, you're welcome. Either the customizers or original 53-55 Olds owners would be interested in your wheelcovers. A really nice set should go for a couple hundred minimum; NOS ones more.<P>Just please don't say you're gonna put 'em on an Alfa Romeo I think that would be a bit jarring!
