Buick screw-on hubcap model usage question

Recommended Posts

Hi to all;  I have 2 Buick screw-on hubcaps that are styled like 1931 artillery wheel caps but larger overall.  Below are pictures with measurements of major diameter, thread diameter and overall height of a 1931 hubcap followed by same measurements for the mystery caps that I have.  Does anyone know what these were used on?

 

The mystery caps are very nice driver quality caps I will sell with some scratches and very minor pitting.  I need 3 equally nice driver quality caps for my 31 66S with artillery wheels which measure like the pictures marked "1931".

 

Thanks in advance...

Hi Stuart- Thanks for this.  That makes sense.

 

Pete Phillips- Here is a picture of a 32 60 series artillery wheel.  Looks like it's not the same as the larger hubcap in my original post.  would they maybe still have used the larger hubcap in my first post on 50 series cars?  If not I think 32 is out of the running....

 

Thanks guys...
