Re: IML: Hubcaps/Wheel covers: Question on the pics on the IML site for 59' caps../IML mistake

[santiam oregon <santiamoregon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Are the photos accurate on the 1959 hubcaps? The bullet/checker style hubcaps look like 1959 Dodge to me.  I had a set and they in no way fit either a 14" or 15" Imperial wheel. An

old friend that has had lots of late 50's Chrysler products said he thought they were 59' Dodge and required a lock ring to use them as they clip on the outside with a very minor lip. I personally have never seen them on an Imperial, only Dodges. 

 

 Also, there is not a representation of the 1957 hubcaps with the plain center and black paint.  Only the 58' style w/ the crown centers and cream paint. 

 

Whomever the specialist is in this area, please either validate or correct me on this.

 

thanks,
