Re: 66 chrome hubcaps stainless or plated brass?
Once again I've learned something new. I've never heard of chromed brass hubcaps newer than around the 1930's. My earliest experienced were with late 40's Chevy caps and they had what seemed to be a carbon steel inner shell that clipped to the wheel, covered by a chrome plated carbon steel outer shell. Everything else (I assumed) had been chromed steel, stainless, or aluminum.
It would be interesting to see how those brass caps would look stripped to the brass and highly polished!
