Wheel covers

Blu Dice

Senior Member
I found out the hard way - not all wheel covers fit all wheels - anyway can anyone tell me some of the '50's caps that will fit my stock '50 shoebox. I bought a pair of Olds '52-53 that don't fit - show pictures if possible - Thanks

Blu.. Had a 50 Ford and had 55 Buick caps, took out the Buick center put in a Olds Fiesta 3 arm spinner on them it looked great until someone stole them, even had my name & tel on the back of each , ,I did take a small cold chisel and made some ridges around the rims where the teeth of the caps are to keep the caps secure on the rims. the 50 ford was a great car drove many miles years ago ..:)
 
I like the looks of the 55 Buick or Dodge Lancer or 57 Caddy on shoebox Fords. Thieves like them also.

Yes Caddy caps would be real nice, but these '56 Olds caps is all I have sooo "when it doesn't fit get a bigger hammer". So I took the spinner off of the cap and beat the center of the cap out away from the center of wheel. Not only does it fit now, it looks even better because now the spinner will be seem better. Just need a couple hours with a dolly and hammer and the caps will be perfect.
