31 LaSalle Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I am probably wrong but it has the look of cadillac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roysboystoys Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I'll guess it's an aftermarket with a simulated Cadillac emblem. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwatson Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Here it's discussed on the "Cadillac Database" site, where they declare it "fake". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Hubcaps were the “jewelry” that could be added to a car to enhance it’s appearance. In response to that idea many aftermarket hubcaps could be purchased as replacement items to make your Chevy a Cadillac, at least in the hubcaps area. Years ago I was at a public sale for an auto parts store and I was able to buy several boxes of NOS aftermarket caps and trim rings cheap. I sold them at local car shows, they were a big hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 My bet is on Lyon. Look very carefully on the inside for it stamped real lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
