RSRXION · 10-12-2006, 10:47 PM

My guess would be 62-64 Chevy II / Nova .

Late 60's early 70's Chevy cars. Some of the COPO cars came with them...

'68 to '70-something Nova.

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

Werewolf · 10-13-2006, 04:22 PM

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.

CochinoFilipino · 10-13-2006, 04:23 PM

They came from an old Chevy

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.

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.
