Title: 1965 Wire hubcaps
Post by: 65,66,67UNRESTORED on August 27, 2020, 09:02:22 PM

Which style caps would be correct for my car that was made in Michigan on 9/3/64 ? Should the spinner center be blue or have the Ford Crest emblem ?

Hi Phill,
 The original owner told me the car came with "wire caps with knock-offs". He then said I may still have them in my attic and will look when I feel up to it.
 The 65 sales brochure shows blue center caps, but this is an early car... so that is what makes me wonder which is correct.

i'm with phill on this one. the crest is correct for early build cars.
