Are these the 56 caps never in production?

I have never seen any center caps like these. Could they be centers from a Rambler with the vinyl stick-on appliques from StudeStu?

He's got two more MoPar sets and those ads have several pictures. I wonder why there is only one picture of the Studebaker center caps.

They were Produced, there you see them! In Production, I do not think they ever were.



You know those Desoto ones ARE identical except the Crests are a different shape at the top, and both Desoto and Studebaker appear to be embossed in the metal, not Decals.
You can zoom in on the Desoto's, but I could not make the magnifier work on the Studes.

I THOUGHT studieo was Richard Quinn, but not sure now as I would not think he would own all that Brand "X" junk.

Studieo is not RQ. I have bought quite a few things from him and always been satisfied. I cannot recall the name at the moment but can probably dig it out.

Studieo is Chuck Kenney in White Cloud, Mi. he is one of the clubs venders and make the PSMCR since he live close and does make SB now and then, he also goes by wirewheelman, if the centers really fit and hold onto the wires then that is a good price, and a good looking set if you like wires.

That's the name I could not recall. I have had only good experiences buying from him.

No, not mine, wish they were. I would put them on my '56 GH (if I had one).

[StudeDave57]

Those are pretty darn nice. I like them a lot.
But as rare as they are- I think I'd be scared to put them on a car!!!

The center caps are not the same as the ones in Richard Quinn's photo. They are similar and they may be the real deal, and they do look great!

Chuck is a trusted vendor so he may have more information on them.

I've wondered about where Chuck found all the neat and rare parts he's been dispensing thru the years. I bought things from him 10 - 15 years ago that I thought were LONG NLA.
