Can anyone help identify this 14" Ford Product Hubcap.
Judging by the design of the Crest, I believe that it is Mercury.
As it is 14", it has to be an optional wheel cover on a Montego or Cougar.
I believe that it is around 1970.
This wheel cover was purchase at a local Swap Meet to add to my collection of wheel covers.
All I need is to know what model and year they were option for.
Thanks for your help.
 
I had a look at the back of these two Hubcaps, and there is a postage stamp size white sticker on both.
However, whatever was written on it has disappeared, as it is completely white.
 
The closet that I can determine is shown below (if they show large enough) -

1970 COUGAR - 15 1/4in O/DIA - BLACK CENTER

That is a MERC CREST.

Regarding this mystery hubcap, in addition to Gary's References, I got the following response from the Mercury Cougar Club:-
Yes, that is a 1970 Mercury hubcap. It was found on Cougars.
It is a 3 piece design and with a different center cap was used on a 1970 Mustang. There are 14" and 15" versions as well as for a 6" and a 7" wheel.
On a Cougar window sticker it was called out as;
WHEEL COVERS-RALLYE with a retail price of $15.60 and a dealer cost of $12.30
Part number is D0WY-1130-B
