Sometimes the part number is stamped in ink on the inside behind or near the back of the center hex. If one or the other still has this number, then it’s a simple matter of looking it up in the Factory Parts List.

Hey Don,
None of these have part numbers on 'em unfortunately. -Chris

Do they both appear to be stainless? A 1953 Clipper that I once owned had a set of very rusty wheel covers while the replacements were stainless and could not have rusted. I suspect the rusty set had Korean War Chrome over steel, which was typically 1952, but I did not notice any subtle difference in manufacturing such as you showed so if you can determine if one of yours is steel and the other stainless it may provide a clue.

I'm not totally sure to be honest. One set does, and the other set kind of doesn't. None of them have any signs of rust though, so they may all be Stainless. -Chris

Here's what mine are like. These are from a '54 Panama. I think they would be the same as '53. I also have no way to tell if these are original, but I would assume so since everything else on the car is.

Thanks Kevin. I wonder if they varied on wheel size though. Your Panama has 7.60x15 rims, while mine came with 8.00x15 rims. Does anyone have a senior car that they can take closeup hubcap pictures of? Thanks again Kevin. -Chris

No problem Chris. Yes, these are Junior hubcaps so the Seniors may be totally different. I have no idea.
Hope you get an answer! -Kevin
