The “hub cap” site is interesting although only the first few are actually hub caps. The rest are wheel covers and a quick glance easily spotted errors so it is to be taken with a grain of salt for accuracy.

To the matter at hand, I wonder if it has anything to do with the new Safety Rims that appeared around then.


I haven't even heard of Safety Rims before. What are they?

So, I talked to a Packard buddy of mine that's been playing with these cars for probably 30+ years. He said the the smooth ones with the 16 mounting teeth are the correct ones for my car.

After looking through google images, every single 53 Convertible has the smooth ones that I just mentioned.

Now I just need to score two more matching smooth ones. I'm still curious as to what the stepped ones are from.
