I picked up three of these beauties over the weekend (I just cannot say no to something old with chrome) and am wondering if any of the folks here have an idea what they may have come off. They look like truck caps to me, but I'm not sure.



I need help identifying Ford hubcaps-ford-hubcaps.jpg

I believe they are Dog Dish Hubcaps for a 1957 through 1959 Ford.

Small possibility that I'm wrong.

For some reason I'm picturing them on a Fairlane or Galaxy. Don't know why, but the image is stuck in my head.

I believe they are from a 1960 to 1964 pickup. I found some listed on e-bay and they look exactly like yours, Delaneyland. I would put the link here but it could be deleted as "advertising", even though it is just for reference.

NJguy, they are listed as dog dish.

I think most the Fairlane and Galaxie hubcaps have raised detailing that resembles closely spaced spokes--even if it is only around the outside edge on some years.

My dad's '59 Fairlane hubcaps did not look like Delaneyland's. And I remember well what those caps looked like considering the number of times I washed that beast.

1964 - 65 Ford Bronco - I'm almost positive on it and may have a picture of my dad next to his to back it up.

I appreciate all the replies! Now I've got a place to start and do a little more research.

Probably had more than one application, but these apparently came off of a 1959 Ford Fairlane.
