Canadian Wire Wheel Hubcaps

Post by Banjoe » Fri Mar 26, 2021 2:02 pm

I've converted our 1927 Canadian T from wooden wheels to wires and am wondering about hub caps.

The wooden wheels had hub caps that were stamped Made In Canada so I'm wondering if Ford made wire wheel hub caps stamped the same way for Canadian models?

Thanks for any thoughts,

Joe

Nope! I was just told and shown a photo of a Canadian hubcap. Same as USA except no "made in USA''.

Greg,
Do you have dies to make wire wheel hub caps?

Thanks for the info and the offer for the dies. :^)

Looking at the bigger picture, the new wire wheels are from Brazil, the Lucas tires are from Vietnam, and the tubes are from ??? Only the air in tires is from Canada.

It was an interesting quest but perhaps I won't be too concerned about the hub caps on this international assembly.

Thanks again,

Joe
