1954 and 1955 Lincoln Hubcaps are different. Can anyone spot the difference between these two Hubcaps?
I know that the Hubcap on the right is missing the red paint around the shield, but the difference is in the Stamping, not the paint. If you look at Ads on eBay for 1954 and 1955 Lincoln Hubcaps, it appears that the majority of Sellers believe that they are the identical, but that is not true.
In addition, there is a Hubcap Dealer in California that lists these Lincoln Hubcaps as 1954-1955, so obviously, he doesn't know that there are slight differences between the two. Clue - the difference in in the Shield.
So, if you are the owner of a 1954 or 1955 Lincoln, has your car got the correct Hubcaps for the appropriate year?
