Re: Need One Hub Cap
Bobs antique auto parts in Rockford may have one. He goes by "FATMAN" on the forum. He has a lot of old parts like that.
Just a 20 year old who listens to 40 year old music, works on 75 year old airplanes and drives 100 year old cars.

Re: Need One Hub Cap
Just a comment, if it matters? Chuck Lebeda's hubcap appears to be originally nickel plated brass, while the "Saint's" hubcap was nickel plated steel. Ford went back and forth between brass and steel (and for a short while in 1925 even stamped zinc which were cheaper to make, but slowed down production because they were too fragile!). I have never seen any definitive timelines for which were most common? However I believe the nickel plated brass were probably most likely more correct for the late 1910s.
Sorry, I don't have any to offer right now. Some years ago I picked up a few original nickel plated brass hubcaps with poor nickel or other damage to buff out as poor-man's brass hubcaps to use where I don't have enough genuine (the script is slightly different!) brass era hubcaps. I may actually have one decent one? But I don't even know where to look for it.
