Thanks David

I've now been in touch with Adrian Trebicki the previous owner who restored the car back in 1968-69 while it was in Rhodesia and he tells me that "the hubcaps were original Packard ones that came with the car but the hexagonal brass/chrome centres coverings were corroded so badly that I removed them and just chromed the remaining hubcap"

I'm going to re-chrome them again during my restoration and refit and maybe just as a token paint the little centre depression red.

One other query while we are on wheels and things : my wheels are 16" dia. fitted with crossply 650 X 16 tyres - are they all correct with U.S.A spec. cars ?

Any comments appreciated.

Best regards Michael
