Me and my Newest Car...a Buick Speedster, and Little Lily

[Tom Laferriere]

This is a really fun car. Trying to figure out what hubcaps go on these wheels. More pictures can be seen on my site.

Way cool, looks like a lot of fun!

I like the way you're painting the engine from the bottom up. Still has that great crusty "period" look, but not raggedy, so to speak.

What's the history on this car? Never seen anything like it, but then I'm not a big pre-War guy (especially pre "Great War!").

Take care.

P.S. Don't show the hair-raising "child seat" pic to the officials! Great shot, BTW. A ride-along mechanic, just like in the good old days (I mean you as mechanic, of course--you <span style="font-style: italic">are</span> in that seat, correct?)

I think this qualifies as a Girls/Buicks picture. Nice lookin' car, beautiful Lily.....who is the rogue in the mechanic's seat??

Heh, heh!

By the way Tom, geat website.

Are those 20" wheels? My guess is they're either '31 Buick or possibly Pierce Arrow.

I was told they are Buick Wheels. I will get some measurements on the wheels and post.

Tom,

Your Buick wheels appear to be from a 1931. The hub caps will have a B in the center.

I have one of those hubcaps with a B, but it is way too small. See attached. Is there another type of Hubcap with that would fit this wheel. Is this wheel Buick? Thanks

[Mark Shaw]

The cap for artillery wheels is small, but the cap for the wire wheels is much larger.

Does anyone have a photo of the correct hubcap and is there anyone who sells them?

Thanks

[Guest Straight eight]

How about these hubcaps?

[Tom Laferriere]

These look the same as I have? Can you give me a dimension?

[Tom Laferriere]

Still need some help with these wheels. Trying to figure out what hubcap goes here. Thanks
