Re: Mystery Hubcaps??
Late 60's early 70's Chevy cars. Some of the COPO cars came with them...

Re: Mystery Hubcaps??
My mom's first car was a '72 Nova, and we still have all 4 of those hubcaps hanging on our basement wall. They're really the only part of that car that didn't rust away.

Re: Mystery Hubcaps??
I had a 68 Camaro, butternut yellow with black vinyl top that had those on it, In fact I think I still have them.

Re: Mystery Hubcaps??
I've seen them on a '69 Camaro or two as well. I had a couple on my old '68. I thought I got them off a '65 truck.

Re: Mystery Hubcaps??
Yep I remember them well off the ole Chevys and that's why they was called dogdish hub caps because that's what they wound up becoming when they fell off and yu found one was the dog's bowl. BTW I am new here saw the addy from a member on Automotive Forms been looking around and it seemslike a great place.
