Here's an old soldier.......had this for 50+ years and decided to restore it yesterday,
took about 1 - 2 hours of cleaning, buffing and polishing.
Came out really smooth and clean with only very minor oxidation that may yet buff out completely.
It is in in very good 'driver' condition.
Did not paint it as the new owner will have to match the white to other caps.
Can anyone identify it, I'm thinking maybe 1957 as my first car was a 57.
So if you have three (I hate when that happens) and are looking to complete a set it's for sale.
$25. plus shipping
......big block, 4 speed, bench seat, it doesn't get much better
happy motoring
I'd say 1960, didn't you have a 1960 BJ ?

This a a hubcap off my 60 Laurentian. Smaller letters and has a skirt, so yours could be earlier? Could be a 56

......interesting.......that cap appears to be a full wheel disc type whereas mine may be the standard cap.....

These dig dish caps were rarely used for one model year only.
The common ones we often see were an 8 year run 64 ~71:
The last version appeared in 1972 and was used well int the 80's
This set of mine is similar. Any idea what year(s) and model(s) they may be correct for? I hope the pics load.

Thanks for that. I'll probably post them for sale at some point as I won't be needing them.
I usually list my sets of dog dish at $100 to $125 depending on how nice they are. They usually sell pretty fast and guys who need them appreciate the good pricing. Wheel discs of any description are basically scrap metal but not doggies.
