pint4 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) I am missing the trim rings and hub caps for the 1937 Packard 120 I am restoring. Does anyone know where I can buy a set of reproduction trim rings/hub caps that are just like the originals? Correct width and contour/shape. Looking for high quality reproductions. Thanks.

JWLawrence Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I believe Bill Hirsch still sells them. I bought a set for my 115C some years ago and am most pleased with the look. They are stainless steel. (o[]o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pint4 Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Thanks for the lead. I am not sure about the style of the trim ring. Narrow or wider? Contoured with ribs or smooth? I am also told there are possibly multiple sources for 1937 Packard 120 hubcaps. In the past I have purchased repro hubcaps for the Buicks in my collection and some have been outstanding and others just ok. Any suggestions where to purchase a set of hubcaps that are done right. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWLawrence Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I would start with Hirsch for the wheel covers and trim rings as he has reproduced them and they are new. Used ones will most likely require restoration and this can become costly. Good hunting. (o[]o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pint4 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 I agree-used ones are hard to come by and usually have issues that are expensive to fix. The nice originals probably have not been available for over 20 years. Would you say Hirsch has the best repro hubcaps? Maybe he is the only one having them made.

JWLawrence Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The best I can tell is Hirsch deals in quality products and service. The trim rings I bought from him were first class. I have only heard of his reproduction wheel covers. (o[]o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
