Need ID for Disc Wheel Hub Trim - Packard, Wills, or ?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I am trying to identify a flared bell shaped trim piece that I think is from a 20s era Packard. It is chrome plated brass, 3 3/8" high, 3" diameter at the small end and 6 1/4" at the large end. I found a picture of a 1928 (?) Packard showing a similar piece covering a disc wheel hub behind the threaded hubcap. I'd like to know what years and models this would have been used on and also whether or not it would be an original Packard part. TIA for any help.

Is that a Ford Quail on that Wills St. Claire????

It’s the early version of the goose mascot, the later one was far more detailed and better looking IMO

They sure look the same as this 1929 Packard Model 626.

It's a 5 passenger sedan out of California

If you need exact measurements, I can get those for you next week.

I know that the request is directed to Packard owners but I also know that Nash used disc wheels to a significant degree and used these trim collars also.  I think Cadillac also use this trim collar.
