30DodgePanel Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 (edited) Hopefully @keiser31 or someone can id them. I don't know much about these post 32 trucks. I seem to recall the hubcaps but not sure where I've seen them. Has the look and feel of a 35 Ford cap Edited March 3 by 30DodgePanel (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearchoclatetown Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 The touring is '14 to mid year '16 because of the exposed frame at the front fenders. The one with the top up is mid '16, early fenders and 6 cathedral windows in the top. If John doesn't know the hubcap we are screwed. He only needs 2 square inches to ID anything and is never wrong. It's not a normal DB hubcap by my eyesight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a normal DB hubcap by my eyesight. Must be a 16 then because I found all those with the same family section. Note the first photo the passengers 1&2 have their hats off and look different but I believe 1, 2 and 3 are the same people in both photos. Also #4 barely shows the drivers side mirror in the first photo. Notice in the very first photo in the series I posted above the lady holding up something in the back seat. Then note the look on 1, 2 and 3's faces. Tells me that was either an annoying aunt or mother in law... As for the front hubcap on the Ambulance, yeah, we're in trouble if John doesn't know...

What's even more interesting is, when you zoom in and rotate it looks like there's a embossed octagon or circle shape with what looks like a 8 or S in the middle. I wonder (since the photo was taken around 1940 according to license plate) that someone may have used anything that would fit for the photo? Something like the Studebaker cap below?

30DodgePanel Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 @nearchoclatetown better look at the tread for the dual white walls we talked about. Thank you for posting the photo with your grandfather @Model-50-1926 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) I will be in that museum next Sat IF I can remember to look at a Ford. I was in that museum today with the Ford with dual white walls. I was disappointed, they are Coker repops. SO I still have yet to see a REAL dual white wall.
