Re: Wheel Cover and Hub Cap Identification Guide

Kev, here's some of the less-common 33-36 caps, not the greatest pictures but if you want to crop them and use them in your hub cap ID guide, feel free.
The first two are of the 33-36 Senior hubcaps used on the wooden artillery wheels and these are of different shape than those for the wire spoke wheels. The wheels of course used different cap script for Eight, Super Eight, and Twelve, and also two different styles per cap though I forget which way they went - I believe the sidemount caps said "Packard Eight" or whatever, and the road wheels said "Packard Motor Car Company Detroit Michigan USA" but might be the other way 'round, the parts book will clarify. You can see both scripts in the one photograph.
The third photo is the disc wheel cap, this photo from a 1933 model, same in 1934 and I'm uncertain w/o looking it up if the disc wheel option continued to 1936.
