Title: 1968 Hubcap id
Post by: JohnB on January 27, 2021, 05:41:39 PM
Anyone have a side by side pic of a real 68 hubcap and other similar looking hubcaps. They do look similar, but ....!

Tried searching but came up empty.

The original has a recessed center to accept the gas cap decal.

That should be all you need to know
