1960 and 1961 Mercury Owners - Hubcaps?
1960 Mercury Hubcap 1961 Mercury Hubcap I am creating this thread directed to owners of full size 1960 and 1961 Mercurys. My concern is that a lot of owners of these vehicles may have fitted the wrong year Hubcaps to their Mercury. It amazes me when I read listings of these Mercury Hubcaps on ebay where advertisers have the years around the wrong way. They either advertise a 1960 Mercury Hubcap as a 1961 model, or a 1961 Mercury Hubcap as a 1960 Mercury model. Other Sellers show a 1960 or 1961 Mercury Hubcap and list it as 1960/1961. It seems that these two model years of Mercury cause more confusion than any other models. So, please check your Mercury to make sure that they have the correct year Hubcaps. |

This is where the miss-information about these 1960 and 1961 Mercury Hubcaps comes from :- Hollanders Identification & Interchange Manual 1965-1995 |

Hollanders Listing for 1960 and 1961 Mercury Hubcaps Notice that they show a 1961 Mercury Hubcap and call it 1960. Meanwhile, for 1961, they leave it blank? |

This Hubcap Seller lists these Mercury Hubcaps correctly. |

Thanks Jim for the confirmation. Your 1961 Mercury Monterey has the correct year hubcaps. However, check eBay and you see that the majority of Sellers listings are incorrect for these two years, 1960 and 1961. |

You're welcome Mercman, and thanks for the heads up.
BTW, if anyone knows of a source for that missing driver side trim end piece seen (or not seen, actually) in the more close up of my two photos, please let me know. Doesn't have to be in perfect condition but should be presentable. Unfortunately, I don't think the Galaxie equivalent will work, which makes it much harder to find. |

The PN is C1MY 62101A05-C if that helps.
Most likely will have to find a take-off. |
