That looks like a Super Eight I know, it's on his card but I won't post his name w/out his permission.

Owen...I hate to be picky but the 12 hubs are substantially larger and of course require larger diameter caps. There's only one model, the LeBaron Speedster, that used the Eight/Super Eight wheel and they afixed a 12 cloisenne' to the center of the 6 cap. I always figured this was a result of the 1103 chassis used by LeBaron to build this car. The V-12 fit the Super 8 engine compartment of the 1103 and they kept the smaller hubs wheels, drums, etc.
