1958 edsel wheel covers info
EDSEL WHEEL COVER FACTOIDS It was also used on the 1959 and 1960 model EDSEL. When the spinner is applied, a circular plate painted as the main body color (or sometimes the secondary trim color if the body color is white) is attached between the cover and the spinner. An opening in the center allows the "E" to still be displayed. Twelve chrome ridges separate "Argent"-painted sections surrounding the wheel cover. 1958 OPTIONS Listings – Wheel Covers - $12.75 Wheel Covers with Spinner Applique - $27.70 Curb Feelers -$2.50 1958 ACCESSORY GROUPS – Dress-Up Group 1 (Not available on station wagons) - $48.70 Wheel covers, Rocker Panel Mouldings, Front & Rear Bumper Guards, License Plate Frames Dress-Up Group 2 (Not available on station wagons) - $62.80 Same as 1, but also includes Spinner applique on wheel covers INFORMATION SOURCE - http://www.edsel.com/pages/edsel58.htm#Wheels EDIT - The center photo shows the 59/60 Wheel Cover - Look For Correction In Below Post - KULTULZ INFORMATION INFO SVCS and USED CAR SALES

These are the two Full Wheel Covers that were offered on the 1958 Edsel. They are the same basic hubcap, but the one with the Spinner has three holes stamped in it, so that the Colour Disc and Spinner can be attached. |

Re: 1958 edsel wheel covers info
The design of the Edsel Full Wheel Cover was changed for 1959. Once again, a Spinner Option was offered. As in 1958, the same basic Hubcap was used for both, but had three hole stamped in it to attach the colour plate and Spinner. Compare these 1959 Edsel Wheel Covers with those used in 1958. I believe that these same Wheel Covers were also used on the 1960 Edsels. |

GOOD EYE MERCMAN! The 1958 cover was different from the 1959.

Re: 1958 edsel wheel covers info
OK, now we know there were two different full wheel cover styles, the 1958 and the 1959/1960 PB9E 1130-A. The PN Prefix PB9E indicates 1959 EDSEL Model Year.
The spinner kit (if spinner deco was not ordered as a factory option) was released to upgrade the wheel cover(s) @ dealer and/or customer level. From EDSEL PARTS CATALOG - PUB DATE NOT KNOWN Quote:
1958 EDSEL FULL WHEEL COVER 1958 EDSEL FULL WHEEL COVER w SPINNER DECO The same kit was also used to upgrade the 59/60 full wheel cover if desired.
