Vintage plymouth hubcaps

My wife has a 33 Plymouth PD rumble seat. It has 2 spare tires mounted 1 on each front fender, for a total of 6 hub caps. The hub caps are in need if restoration, so I took them to a re-chromer. Turns out they are aluminum, and nearly impossible to restore without loosing a lot of detail. I have searched for reproduction caps, but have come up empty. Is there anyone you know who makes these. NC Industries in Sayer Pennsylvania. They have done these in the past and might have some in stock. Post a picture of cap. I think that we may have some left.. Hi, Are they from the wood wheels? They did reproduce them some years ago. Here is a picture of the reproduction Plymouth Wood Wheel hub cap. I was under the impression that the "box" around the Plymouth name was larger or closer to the edge of the cap on the '33 wire wheel cap as on the wood wheel '33 cap shown, but I could be wrong. Can anybody tell us about the hubcap?

Phone too please so we can talk - use the convo thread.

By Guest July 7, in Plymouth. I found this great old piece on eBay. Says it's a locking hub cap for the spare tire. Looks like the same script on my '38 caps but all '38's are either in the trunk or behind the seat so it has to be for an earlier application. Mine are 9 inches across the front. So are the earlier caps smaller in diameter? Maybe someone here can use it?

The automotive wheel cover is fast becoming extinct in these days of handsomely cast wheels and steel-wheel powder coating. The addition of a heavy metal or plastic cover to protect and beautify a car's wheels just isn't used any more. As a result of the shift in design to decorative rims, the obsolete wheel cover has increased in collector appeal. They're affordable souvenirs for cars that might be too expensive to own, and if you are lucky, they can be found by the side of the road. The chrome decorations tend to turn up in piles at garage sales and antique stores, as well.

Vintage Hubcaps Nave plates in Britain offer more than protective value for car owners — they add to the aesthetic appeal of your wheels. Due to their initial purpose, hubcaps earned their nicknames grease cap and dust cap, and in some cases, dirt cap. In its early days, hubcaps used brass, wood, wire, and steel as the production material and a threaded-center hub as the style. It evolved into alternate patterns with more intricate details and complications with time.

Search forums. Is there anyone you know who makes these. I found this great old piece on eBay. However I was not around in so I cannot say for certain that Chrysler-Plymouth dealers did not offer aftermarket aluminum ones from their parts store. I do not believe Plymouth made an aluminum cap after the PA "Thift" screw-on. The aluminum ones are soft and have a tendency to let go of the ring "dimples" on rough roads.

My 33 PD had these , wood wheel hub caps , originals, I also have some for 33 wire wheels but they need skins, they are listed under Dodge.. They are steel with a one piece construction as you can see with a magnet holding the cap from the ground. It was PlyDo in Virginia that made the repro wooden artillery wheel hubcaps and he has indeed passed on. Hi, Are they from the wood wheels? I am in San Diego and would like to find a plating shop that can do the old fashioned plating with out me going to Tijuana. The originals were stamped or spun steel with a chrome plated face. Can anybody tell us about the hubcap? Well, that pretty much nails it, thanks. They were not listed in their catalog so have asked for pictures, since it appears this is not an exact science. Whitney used to sell a number of repro caps; the Model A Ford caps said "Bool" in Ford style script instead of "Ford".
