This doesn't solve your problem, but I was in the same sort of situation. I desired nicer hub caps for my '37 115C. Hirsch had them listed for many moons, but by the time I went to pull the trigger for them they were out of stock with no plans for another run. Neither Max Merrit or Kanter had them in stock although they listed them. Fortunately Flackmaster came to my rescue and delved into his hoard and was able to provide me with the repros. I am eternally grateful to him.

Nice you lucky dog......guess ill rod it lower it and put some wides on it

I have some extra hubcaps for a 1940 110. Would they work on your '41?

Maybe?..... just a little

But, have you seen the 1940 110/120 Hubcaps with the Packard script across the centre of the cap? Don't know why Packard went to the circles with "PACKARD" or PACKARD 110 or PACKARD 120 encircling the hexagon in the centre of the cap. Think the script type are much better.

The PDF file in the literature and Manual section does not mention the script type hubcaps or the type you show in your photos, only caps with PACKARD 110 or PACKARD 120 circling the centre hexagon.

Attached, besides the PDF and photos from the PDF of the 40-41 110 and 120 hubcaps, are photos of a '40 110 and '40 120 scripted hubcaps.

When I bought my '41 120 Coupe it came with '40 120 scripted hubcaps on it. New to Packards, back in 2007, I bought replacement hubcaps from Hirsch and what do I get? Why '41 PACKARD 120 hubcaps of course. Nice and new, but was I disappointed, thought I was going to receive new scripted hubcaps!

Although my 1940 110 had the script wheel covers, I understand that they had changed mid-year to the type with the text around the center. They were a bit different, though very similar to, the 1941 style and I used to have a couple but they are long gone now. There were, of course, other mid-year changes too at least on the junior models.

Went on a road trip today to save Packard parts from being scrapped, only a 500km round trip. Apparently, from what I understand, they aren't making these parts anymore! Amongst the parts are about 4 boxes of hubcaps, maybe 30 or more. Won't know until tomorrow, when I unload them, what I actually have. But if there are '40 110 hubcaps included, they are yours! Of course shipping cost from Oz might preclude that, it can be very pricy, but lets see.

WOW thanks Hope there are 2 in there for me.

Sorry looks like your hopes are dashed. Although there are a lot of hubcaps, most are for Post WW2 Packards. About half are reasonable, the rest are probably headed for the scrap bin. Only 7 Pre WW2. 5 - PACKARD SUPER EIGHT, 1 - PACKARD - EIGHT and 1 - PACKARD SIX. The PACKARD SIX hubcap is dinged and scratched with dimensions of "about" 9&7/8" outside diameter and 7&7/8" for the inside opening diameter.

Parts picked up yesterday included 2 x '48-'50 grills, 3 pairs of '51-'54 Clipper/Packard fender skirts, pair of used '52 tailights incl bezels and lenses, NOS tailight lenses, NOS and used trim pieces and lots more. Looks like I've got my work cut out in identifying all the bits, let alone the hubcaps!

Not sure but I believe that the Six cover is 1938 while the Eight and Super Eight are 1939.

Don, for the ID.
