1965 Wire hubcaps
« 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.
