Looks like the ones I had on a bone stock 1973 Chevy Nova but it had 14" wheels. I always called them baby moons.

Guess it wouldn't matter about the wheel diameter. I'm pretty sure that's what they are from.

Some base level Chevelles also came with those. We always called them factory baby moonds, because GM produced them, but they were identical to Cal Custom baby moons except for the bowtie embossed in the center. They are the standard 10 1/8" size that fits cars and 1/2 ton trucks. Corvair hubcaps were smaller diameter. In addition to the Corvair I believe those would fit the early Buick Specials, Tempests, and Falcons with 4 lug wheels.

They also came on some of the early 70's Camaro's.
