Re: Has anyone seen original hubcaps?
The repro hub caps we see these days are a poor copy of the originals. (Hands up if that surprises you!) Even then, if you look at the shape of the fingers that we all bend over to hold the cap on, they are shaped so that if they were set properly, the hub cap would snap on. Pictures were posted on this forum when I first said this that show cars coming down the production line with wheels on but no hub caps yet. I think that confirms that they were an easy item to fit and remove.
