There is one more on the board here, another was for sale on ebay. Not a lot of them left.

Wow! Thanks 68SD!! I do have some of those old ads that my Dad collected over the years, but there's some good stuff there!! and 58 Poncho fan, I never knew the detailed breakdown like that, thank you! I would like to be in touch with you about our cars. To everybody else, I hope I can offer some help to somebody, as I am a painter/bodyman during the day...

umm...all I've ever seen are the ones as shown in the brochures, basically plain looking discs. Or poverty caps...

hey carl, no, i have quite a few varieties of spinner style hub caps, but i've never seen a set of these before and i got them from a chap that just finished restoring his 58 parisienne conv?!?

i was just looking over the pictures of your cars and, although i'll have to confirm tomorrow when i get to work, i'm pretty sure the initional hub caps are the same and if the spinners were added by someone, they did one hellava pro job and they definately have an old style pontiac logo in 'em.......hmmm?

I'd like to see those Dave.
There is a another member on here that made his own "hybrid" '60s/70s Pontiac caps on the site, and they look factory.
Anyone remember who it was? 

 

Hello.  Any chance you could take a pix of those wheel covers?  I could identify them if they are for a 58! Thanks from Bob.

o.k.  i don't even know how i can explain myself and still at the end of it all, have even a shred of dignity. (but i'll try) i did get a bunch of parts from a customer who had just finished restoring a 58 parisienne conv. in the bunch of parts were these hub caps, i put them on my racks with out even second guessing them because i am definately NOT an expert on 58's. that was quite a while ago, well today i pulled them down and took all these pics all excited to find out what they were and, now this is were it starts to hurt, when i pulled the spinner off one to show how it is factory mounted, i saw a part # in the dirt, so i started cleaning it an d saw the part # and a very small logo. so small i put on the glasses and still couldn't make it out so under the lite magnifier..............gulp, there it was yep a FoMoCo logo, almost laughing at me. i'm sorry guys, but in my defense they were done quite well. anybody looking for 4 shiny frisbees? 

yep, almost the same but no venting!! cousins?

Yeah we all make mistakes now and then, so don't give it a second thought!
However I must admit, I would have taken them off your hands, if they had been the correct ones! Re the parts you got from the guy who restored the 58 ragtop, do you still have them and would it be possible to let me know what they are?  Also do you know where the car is today?  It would be a nice addition to the club!  Bob.
