marcapra Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Seller says these are 37-38 DeSoto hubcaps. I'm thinking they might be Studebaker? Who's right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHuDWah Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) DeSoto are similar but they have De on one side of S and oto on the other side - both are smaller letters than S. My guess also would be Studebaker. Or they might be aftermarket replacement for DeSoto, without the other letters so as to avoid patent problems.

TerryB Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 The script “National” on the hub cap wrapper is the give away. National was a manufacturer of aftermarket hubcaps. This set might fit a DeSoto but they are not originals. The originals would be in a MoPar bag wrapper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
