From the Archives #48 (1956 1/2 ton truck)

As a secondary questions regarding authenticity; We know that this cap was not introduced until the 1950 model year. However the parts book shows them as suitable for all of the 1947-49 cars as well. If someone enters his '49 Commander Starlight Coupe with these caps for judging would the judge be justified in deducting points?


Trying to start an argument here, aren't ya[?]

I imagine offering a truck with white walls, full wheel discs, and two-tone paint was Studebaker's response to an 'upmarket' truck line such as the Chev Cameo.

How much for a set of those caps?

I am thinking that the ONLY way a person would get away with not losing authenticity points for those unusual wheel Covers with no Crest Emblem, would be as the rules suggest having a copy of the original listing showing them optional on '56-'59 trucks and "available" for '47-'49 cars also in that case.
