The hub caps are in need if restoration, so I took them to a vintage plymouth hubcaps. Turns out they are aluminum, and nearly impossible to restore without loosing a lot of detail.

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. The term hubcap actually refers to a smaller metal cap that covers the end of the axle -- the hub -- and keeps the wheel-bearing grease in place on antique cars.

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. Manufacturers started building center-threaded trims with hubcaps shifting in purpose towards aesthetic value. Even though two of these Cadillac hubcaps were repolished, they still command a high value because of their brand and design. It uses the spring-loaded retention famed for its extra protection capacity. This stainless steel hubcap has the Cadillac crest at the center and a wide circumference qualifying it as more of a wheel cover than hubcap although they mean the same thing technically. The — Corvette wheel cover is the most modest design of the brand yet its sleek style made it a fan favorite.
