Help!!! what are these from???

[candbstudebakers]

I have had these for some time and today I pulled them out when I was looking for some 53-55 full covers, has anyone ever seen them before and if so what are they from?


There is 5 of these but only 3 have the spinner all rather nice.

A SDC member had one of those at a swap meet last Saturday.
Doesnt help determine the manufacturer but they are out there.

Hello Bob.
I think they fell out of the bed of the Transtar, you sold to Sweden.

This set also need one then I would have 4 and one extra with out, the spinners are pot metal so do pit, the cap is stainless and are real nice and would shine up great...Bob

Aftermarket. Nothing more. Pat, you'd be disappointed if you thought those spinners were gonna match the optional ones that Studebaker sold.[B)]

Someone here will know exactly what year: in the mid-60's there was a Buick chrome cover with fake lug nut shapes stamped in. Sure enough, a local shop applied an air wrench to the lug nuts.

So I guess we know why the fake knock-off centers are never in a complete set.
