Dog dish or no dog dish, that is the question

[Dooner Funderburk <doonerfunderburk@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having a nice discussion on another email group about the '64 Furys, 
Belvederes, and Savoys coming from the factory with dog dish hub caps. I 
know that police cars and government cars had them, so I was thinking it was 
kind of an identification thing. I now have seen pictures of some cars with 
the DD hub caps. I have a dealer brochure, and it does not show anything but 
the full wheel cover. Does anyone have any other information that would 
clear this up. I don't want to tell anyone that they don't have factory 
hubcaps, I am just curious of how this works. Was it factory installed, was 
it dealer installed, or was it an after market owner installed.
Another thing, It seems that not all the DD caps were the same. I saw a 
police car with a plain cap with about a four inch circle on it. Then some 
looked like the caps from a 70 Duster. So if it is factory, which one is 
right?

Thanks,
Dooner
