hello i am a new Packard owner. I have several old cars of various makes and i must say its built like i tank... The car is a 1950 Super 8... its in poor condition overall. Im trying to obtain needed parts to at least get it back on the road... Please see attached photo, i have the trim rings, but need to know the correct hubcap for this car, as i have none... Thanks to all.... Paul

I have piles of old hubcaps for your car. What condition do you want?

i would say rough to driver quality... Im not restoring it at this time, just trying to get it running.. and looking complete.

thanks Paul

Sure, since you are new and have a most ambitious project ahead of you, I'll send you my 4 worst ones (which are not that bad) for free if you pay shipping. I'll send a photo later.

I suggest you clean them with oven cleaner and polish with barkeepers friend or chrome polish.

Then get a red, and black, paint marker and trace around the ridges then fill in. Only a couple minutes each. Or, the red hex can be masked and spray painted instead.

Are those Packard rims? I don’t see the hubcap clips

If those are Packard wheels, then they used this type of wheelcover but I am unaware that they were used prior to 1951 so they may be from a later model.




As for the type your car should have, be aware that there are two different types that look identical on the outside but are not interchangeable. Of course, they require the type of wheels with clips.
