Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

I recently saw for sale 1 wire wheel for a Clipper. I may be wrong, but I thought this wasn't a Clipper item. I have heard that wire hubcaps were offered as an option but have never seen them. They must be rare. Anyone have a picture or better yet, a set for sale?

Picture from the 1954 Salesman's Data Book. They fit the 15 inch rims, Packard or Clipper and were offered for both car lines. I'm not sure of the earliest year of availability. Reasonably rare, though a set of 4 very good ones recently changed hands here in NJ at a local flea market for less than a bottle of cheap gin.

The Clipper bolt pattern is Ford or Plymouth. The wire wheels for one of those cars will work. Will the Packard wire wheel caps fit??
