Cheap Reproduction Hubcaps - to avoid Licence Fees https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/attac...p;d=1635900874
Reproduction 1954 Ford Hubcap - reading "F V8 V8 D". If they had used the word "FORD", they would have had to pay Ford Motor Company Licence Fees. Has anyone got any similar cheap Repro Hubcaps? |
Re: Cheap Reproduction Hubcaps - to avoid Licence Fees I have some model A dust caps that say "FOOL" with fancy Ford type script that you need to really look hard to see the difference. I'll see if I can find them for fun!

Re: Cheap Reproduction Hubcaps - to avoid Licence Fees Ahhh! The good old days. With places like "Western Auto" and "J.C.Whitney", the sky was the limit!.

Reproduction 1950 Chevrolet Hubcap. To avoid paying Licence Fees, note that the Bow-Tie Emblem has been altered accordingly. |

How about an aluminum 32 cap made by Dick Manufacturing?

Genuine 1954 Ford Hubcap. This is what the Reproduction Hubcap should look like. |
Re: Cheap Reproduction Hubcaps - to avoid Licence Fees Now that's fun & interesting, Thanks !
|
Re: Cheap Reproduction Hubcaps - to avoid Licence Fees Hey Trev thanks for blowing up the pictures! Is the center in that 54 cap black? In the US the 54 cap is Maroon.

More fun with hubcaps! 1st a all chrome 39 deluxe, then a 1935 painted steel in the original Ford box, and finally a 34 painted steel. Think the painted versions were war years?
|
Re: Cheap Reproduction Hubcaps - to avoid Licence Fees Yes, WWII vintage due to critical material restrictions, primarily the nickel content in stainless steel in this case Another example are the cast iron brake and clutch pedal pads rather than rubber over steel.
|
Re: Cheap Reproduction Hubcaps - to avoid Licence Fees Thanks David I didn't know that about the pedal pads. I have a pair of the cast pedal pads and they have the 11A part number and Ford script cast into the back.

Cover of the Australian Sales Brochure showing the 1954 Ford with Red paint on the Hubcaps, when in fact, all the Centres on Hubcaps on Australian Assembled 1954 Fords were painted Black. Go figure? |
Re: Cheap Reproduction Hubcaps - to avoid Licence Fees Sales brochures are usually printed before model year production begins and as a result may not reflect actual production components. While better than nothing, they aren't completely reliable as documentation.

The US built 54 Fords had a opaque Maroon center same as the attached Mercury cap.
