Re: Hubcap issue: 23rd series

I agree that hubcap will probably fit. In fact, most full wheel (15") hubcaps that hang on by the outside edge -like a trim ring- will most likely work (my '50 Custom had '55 Ford hubcaps hiding under the fender skirts). But... I thought that Packard only started using full wheel hubcaps in 1951. It would be great if there were a complete pictorial reference source of the correct hubcaps by model/year showing both sides, anybody know of one? I found a few references looking around the various vendor sites but no full wheel hubcaps for pre-1951 were shown.

Of course anything with the Packard Hexagon on it is going to look better than naked lug bolts. And if you don't have the exactly correct hubcap on your 58 year-old Packard... how many people in South Africa are going to know?
