I think they're just what I need for the look I want on my car.
I cant seem to stop this habit of buying parts...

I love them too and look how nice they are. Really makes me consider changing out the Rally II wheels.

We're talking big block with a 4 speed and you bring up correct  ?

Technically I think the moons are "incorrect" as well since they were a GTO item and ring less Rally II were for the GT option. I don't think I've ever seen a 73 LeMans with dog dish so I don't think they were standard, probably a full wheel disc was.

C'mon Ray, dog dishes were standard on Lemans at least through 77 and I'm pretty sure after the downsizing in 78 as well, full wheel covers have never been standard equipment, always an option.  I'm sure you have posted a few pics like this as well!

I'm willing to bet a and a at Timmies that the moon caps were standard equipment on a 73 Lemans.

That's fine but my car is a LeMans Sport not a LeMans and your question related to my car and the moon caps which I still maintain are not "correct". Even the photo you posted has dig dish identical to the ones in the auction, the subject of this post.  I think the Moons were GTO only. If we find dog dish were standard in 73 I think they will be the ones posted not moons.

This is Ray -------->  

and then there will be the debate on whether to use the dog dish caps with or without trim rings......................

Well that is bizzaro, that has to be the only year that Pontiac had a different poverty cap specific to one model in a series....

At least I was half right, that poverty caps were still standard as opposed to full wheel covers.  That means no free refill on the Ray.

My 72 400 4bl Endura Lemans wagon came with these caps.

yup, pete has it right again......dogs, no rings please

Not to thread steal, but I would love to hear all about that Endura Lemans wagon!


As for the Rally Moon hub caps, Pontiac used a Baby Moon style with the arrowhead on them in 1973 (and perhaps the odd 1974) only. They were used on Lemans (an old neighbor had one since new in '73 through 1978 after trading in her '65 Skylark), Ventura (a classmate's mother owned a '73 Ventura hatchback with them new; she traded in her '66 Chevelle 300 convertible for it), plus Firebirds (a friend had a '73 Firebird with them & trim rings). In other words, cars in 1973 with 14" wheels (did the GTO offer 15" as an option in '73? They did in 71/72.)

The caps shown at the start of this thread were from 1972  and carried over through the rest of the 1970's except as noted. I remember 2 new 1973 Laurentians with them as well. They are also shown in my 1975 Canadian editions of the full-size model brochure and the Lemans brochure.
